In Times Of
My soul drifts aimlessly in times of hopelessness.
It searches tirelessly for meaning and truth …
Yet finds no direction.
My heart bleeds quietly in times of loneliness.
It yearns to find warmth and happiness …
Yet it somehow eludes me.
My eyes seek out visions in times of want.
They gaze endlessly through the blackness that envelops them …
Yet they cannot see the light.
My ears listen earnestly in times of silence.
They search for familiar sounds to comfort and console …
Yet they cannot penetrate the darkness that surrounds me.
My arms reach out frantically in times of despair.
They seek strength and compassion to enfold me …
Yet they find nothing substantial to enwrap.
My mind cries out desperately in times of solitude.
It poses intense questions that demand answers …
Yet there are none to be found.
