In the vast expanse where tears freely flow,
I seek you, yet find only an empty echo.
My faith wavers, doubts cast their spite,
As questions arise with every night.
Distances stretch, the gulf widens too,
Into depths I plunge, seeking you.
But amidst stones, temples, and sacred spaces,
Only in kindness, love, do I find traces.
You, fashioned by man's hand, yet defiled,
Elude my grasp, remain unreconciled.
I cannot bridge this gap, nor reach your shore,
Yet still, I yearn for something more.
In sorrow's embrace, you do not dwell,
Yet I crave your presence, I long to tell,
Of this absurd existence, where you come and go,
Leaving no invitation, no farewell to show.
Life's script unfolds, a tale unknown,
Questions abound, answers overthrown.
Yet within this chaos, I strive to find,
The truth I seek, within my mind.
