Why did it take so long for me to find you? <br />Why did it feel as if it took forever? <br />I felt that I did all the things I knew to do, <br />Perhaps they all were far too clever... <br /> <br />Devious and cunning, that's what they proved to be, <br />They thought that they were too far above my head - <br />They never let my true self shine, that which is me, <br />They thought that they were in control, instead... <br /> <br />I left them to the making of their own mind, <br />and took another path, which led away from them - <br />I put all the wounds, scars and gloom behind, <br />and buried all the trash from which thoughts stem... <br /> <br />I found you, just by chance, such was my luck, <br />Like a needle in a haystack, I sought you out - <br />You were a fruit of goodness, I chanced to pluck, <br />Not it's our love and happiness, I'd like to tout! <br /> <br />Love is something to be prized and fought for, <br />Not such a thing that fades and falls away - <br />Love is strong and gorgeous to the very core, <br />and lasts for all one's life, not for one ordinary day.<br /><br />david lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-needle-in-a-haystack/
