i have been searching
a lot of things
love, hope, fantasy, beauty
everywhere i thought
i could see
i saw
everywhere i felt i could smell
i tried to smell not just flowers
but every scent of earth
i always knew
where to find precious things
and i almost found
a few of them
but as soon as i tried to hold on
grab and possess something so profound
i lost it like magic
like a mirage upon desert sand
i lost jewels
to the moving cloud
and i lost it so
that i could never find it again
never.
