*** Challenge Poem 19 ***
*** Searching
***
by 'Barry R. Long'
asking why as the tears
cascade down her face
she searches for her son without finding
a trace
with knots in the stomach and her heart in her
mouth
she looks everywhere north, east, west, and south
until
she finds him, for her, life can not carry on
for her life is
playing a tragic and sorrowful song
sometimes trying to eat,
yet she can't hold it down
trying to be hopeful, but she's
still wearing a frown
her lack of sleep is starting to take
it's toll
it's hard to think straight with a tormented
soul
thoughts invade her every sense
making the task even
more intense
each day she follows different leads
to find an
answer is all that she needs
