The Search Poem by Stella Aurora Sarchez Gerodias

The Search

Rating: 4.5


Behind the line comes back to mind
such thought have said
been heard before.

The world was young from old days gone
lies a mystery
of a forgotten time.

Such wuthering heights from some withered places
bring back the memories
of sad familiar faces.

Time when yet unborn
the passion adored
passed and gone.

Now have come once long been waited
the place and time
were once been wasted.

Will all these pass
Or will fall apart?
The world that you and i once had.

Make a choice and think again
How many lives we will be wasting
For an endless search and then be broken.

There is an all-pervasive sense of sadness right througout this poem which would ordinarily sideline a reader. The use of classic methaphor linked with History however keeps the theme fresh to the end. Congratulations. Rgds, Ivan

I noted the poignance and sadness.. 'Make a choice and think again How many lives we will be wasting.. For an endless search and then be broken.' Very apt.. Good work.. keep it up.
