And When I Find Her

Sometimes inspiration lies at boredom's tiny feet,

And all that's needed is for us to carry on with life.

Sometimes expectations fall down, crashing through the skies,

But if you get a move on, son, you'll find yourself surprised.

 

And then I found her, perfection,

But now she's letting go.


 

You're tired of using expletives describing weary life

And now you look around to see the world with clear eyes;

There's too much going on to think, you quietly surmise

And though the pain may fade away, you want it to survive.

 

And when I find her in my eyes

I will not let her go.

And when I find me in her eyes,

She will not let me go.

 

This life is filled with sorrow but there's also room for joy,

The world's a frightening place to live but it's our only home;

And when the tears have ceased to fall, you'll realize one day,

Your heart's a self- assembly kit; just glue it back again.

 

And when I find her in my eyes

I will not let her go.

And when I find me in her eyes,

She will not let me go.

 

And when I find her in my eyes

I will not let her go.

And when I find me in her eyes,

She will not let me go.

The poem is powerful and beautiful. Hard to know when we have paradise. If I could go back in time. My life would be different. I like the complete poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

How brilliant...

This appeals to me in some deep way--we can all fix ourselves--and time heals so many of the heart's huge pains.

I loved this poem. Thank you

The repetition,

'And when I find me in her eyes,
She will not let me go.'

is extraordinary.Very well written!
