Longing

I am all alone but I
know I am not lonely.

Living in an alien city 
with no one to call my own
I keep the life sense burning
with the oil of hope.

Decisions were made as
choices were hard.
I chose success over comfort
but oh that's not my fault.

Look at the world from the 
world's eye
And you will be left 
without warmth or caring.

I steeled my heart
and made this world my home.
My home was the world, though
I soon came to know.

keep garnering my positivity
as I long for love.

I raise the urge help feelings transpire
hoping some day that the universe conspires...

With the blue umbrella above
and the green carpet below
The murmuring creek will
have a turbulent flow.

On that crimson dawn
I will get back what I lost.

Not material, not spiritual
a heart that transcends.
And touches me across time zones
where the horizon bends.
