SEARCHING

Photo by Frankhie Muthumbi

Like a full moon in the dark of night,
Like headlights on a lonely road,
Your eyes are some kind of light,
And I look for them in those I meet,
The waves in the sea of this city,
Swallow my view in unfamiliar faces,
The screams of the bustle,
Deafen my heartbeat,

Still it whispers like a soft beacon,
Still this navigation knows home,
Still lay this cemetery I call a heart,
Buried hopes and dreams,
The beat of my feet,
On the paving stones,
Keep light in me this dance,
To a melody I'm searching for,
