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.
