Eternal Wandering
I've been searching for you my whole life,
I can't stop, no matter the strife.
Through deadly heat and chilling snow,
Even in hell, I'll continue to go.
Though my head may be silver-haired,
Whiter than snow in the skies,
In my heart, a dream is ensnared –
To find myself in your eyes.
Years have flowed, rivers have dried,
I've roamed the world far and wide.
I lay in my tomb, my eyes softly closed,
Yet you, I never found, as time imposed...
About this poem
