Where were you?
When all the detours on my road
Took so much away from me
And the melancholy of my life
Took my world away
When brushed colors
Of horizon from afar
Splashed upon me
I wonder
Should “Dali” have the power?
To paint the colors of my heart
Where were you?
When the winds of life
Wanted to silent me
Where were you?
When thunder made me stronger
Where were you?
When the walls around me fell down
Where were you?
When time ran out on me
Just tell me
Where were you?
When I needed you
Past horizons and the seven seas
I searched for you
To find my heart at your feet
I walked past mountains high
Where rivers flow… high and low
When the moon faded away
Where were you?
While I was lying at your feet
In silence I walked alone
While the silence of my heart was yearning
Where were you?
When you turned around and walked away
And left me lying there…
Stepped upon…

I guess that was rhetorical?
You write with the deepest, most inner soulful feelings - this is superb, grand lady of poetry!!
