Luscious red
Peppered with pure white
That first icy lick
Makes the world alright
Swirls of magic
Moving with enticement
The illusion that draws near
Children to peppermint
Dwindling stick
Leaving oh so rapidly
The joyous season does go
To return eventually

The Lonely Year
Trying to stay strong,
But I don't know for how long.
The wound runs deep,
And thus here I weep.
This year has been rough,
There has been no fluff.
Each event has been direct,
My heart just can't connect.
Among those I love,
And I'm the lone gray dove.
What can I do but wait for it to pass,
This year forever cannot last.
But I don't know for how long.
The wound runs deep,
And thus here I weep.
This year has been rough,
There has been no fluff.
Each event has been direct,
My heart just can't connect.
Among those I love,
And I'm the lone gray dove.
What can I do but wait for it to pass,
This year forever cannot last.

The Greener Grass
The grass is greener on the other side they say.
But along the path I have paved my own way.
Hiked up the mountains and swam through the rivers.
Even made it through the snowy lands with shivers.
Survived the storm of flying words.
Those that so land like swords.
Bared the downpour of the skies above.
Basked in the sunshine and its love.
Seen with awe the tops of tall trees.
Felt with wonder the beautiful breeze.
I have sowed the seeds that have allowed it to be.
The grass where I'm sitting just right for me.

Once a Soul Searcher, Always a Soul Searcher
Alas, a year has passed by and I find myself missing the soul searcher. For a short while now something unknown has been pestering me. Not exactly bad, not entirely good either.. Just a feeling of slight anxiety. And I found myself wishing that I could express these feelings, write them out and see what can be made of them. And I wondered where I could write, where I could search and think - and thus have returned to my soul searching days! This time I come with a renewed realization: I have a quest in life - to continually search for the meaning - so how can I ever cease to be a soul searcher? Even if I find one aspect, there are others to be discovered until I reach "nirvana," and since I don't feel I am close to that yet, the soul searcher shall continue in me.
So on to a continuous journey we go.. And let's see where my soul searching heads this time!
