In Search Of... Poem by Annalee Somerville

Late at night when I close my eyes,
I pretend to be a bird.
Out my window I do fly,
Leaving behind all the hurt.
Scouring the earth for the promised land,
Up to the clouds I disperse.
So billowy white that feels like fleece,
Searching for some eternal peace.
Tears dripping like hard rain,
Signifies my life of pain.
I search the sky for Creator,
I searched the entire Universe.
Feeling isolated and all alone,
I wondered what it's worth.
Opened eyes and I am home again,
The pain becomes much worse.
I know that all is not forgiven,
I know that I'm not really living.
Tomorrow I will again search,
For peace and tranquility for what it's worth.
