Finding you

I swam in the deepest oceans went thru swamps as the quest never ceased, Blown by winds of different motions To the north, to the south, to the west and the east, All that in vain My strength – down the drain. I climbed mountains; and went over hills thru spurs and valleys, I walked till there were blisters on my heels Foraged even the unknown alleys, I even toed unexplored land But sadly, I came back empty handed. In the lions den I went in thinking she might be a guardian there, But all I got were cuts on the chin Where are you Claire? Or you are just a gleam that illuminates in my dream? After decades- all I thirsted for was within joy; love and wisdom, Patiently-I shall loiter for my kin so that we shall build our kingdom, Time shall grant me my hue who shall prepare my beloved stew
