2014 April PAD Challenge: Day 2

I am posting Day 1 and Day 2 poems simultaneously as I am somewhat behind in publishing myblog posts. Keeping fingers crossed that going forward I will post a different poem everyday. Or maybe, more than one in a day! Well that’s optimism for you!

Day 2 prompt: Write a voyage poem

Eons I have roamed the streets

In search of my own existence

Generations have come and gone

Yet I rarely show up on life’s lens

Man has searched for me high and low

No stone left upturned in his quest

Failure is what he usually gets

Deaf to my heart beating in his breast

He who finds me is indeed special

Clean in his mind, innocent of guile

He desires not wealth nor power

It’s the little things that make him smile

His heart holds no place for war and strife

He years to accept, not discriminate

I am Happiness and that is my home

Not a heart that is full of hate
