Seeking

Seeking out the light from here,
to touch, to feel, to see
the warmth that
buries beneath the coldness
of this void.

I skip across this path alone,
I scream, I laugh, I sing
to drown out
that unendless ring of silence
within me.

I yearn for things unknown,
for stars, for skies, for love
while wandering these
windy streets that leads
and brings to nothing.

I pluck these daisy petals,
for you, for me, for we.
But you lie unknown in
the stars, the skies, I cry
when the tortured silence
consumes me.
