Searching For My Somewhere

Folder: 
Soul Poetry
*~*
Somewhere taunts,
like fairy-tale endings,
dangled like a carrot...
...there...
just out of my reach.
*~*
Never within' my grasp,
it awaits,
on plains I've
not yet, with these feet,
tread.
*~*
Lost horizons loom
like heat-hazed deserts-
always a mirage
wisped away
just before I arrive.
*~*
Miles to go,
yet in no direction,
these well-worn paths, so far,
have led me
only here to nowhere.
*~*
I've stumbled along pebbles
in the sands
of my time,
which slowly wane down
with each eroding grain.
*~*
Deserted islands,
of uncharted courses,
where waves wash away
the fantasy sand castles
I've built upon.
*~*
Mystical lands,
of legends making,
turn far away
like dog-eared pages
in my novel, unwritten.
*~*
Somewhere, its said,
there's a place for all,
though yet, have I,
to come across
its welcoming shores...
*~*
