Morning midnight
noonday twilight
heat of evening
dawn comes seeping
thaw and frost till all seems lost
I am alone in the wind
floating in a cloudy sky.
Dark and blooming
sunshine glooming
here, so far
adrift in stars
cold and bright unreachable light
is all I have to guide me home
emptiness to roam, on and on;
‘til all I could see was where I'd been
wondering if all that I had seen,
would be all that I would ever see.

You voice the heart-sighs of many of us, PK. Lovely rhyme and rhythm to this one ... undulating like life, like love. A poignant piece of soul this is.
