Missing something in life

She lives her life at breakneck speed What is it that this lady needs? I think not fortune, I think not fame Nor to glorify her name Something churning deep within Coming alive again and again Appointments here, obligations there Where will she be next, where oh where As I observe her throughout the day I think I might, I think I may Recognize that she is me And is not where she wants to be But as I watch I think I know The pathway that she needs to go She's looking for a special friend One to whom her soul she can lend One she can love, meet in the middle And who'll help figure out this life, this riddle

She's looking for a special friend
One to whom her soul she can lend
One she can love, meet in the middle
And who'll help figure out this life, this riddle

Well I was sure I'd "found" her even though she started the whole thing. I believed all she told me and I was in it for the long haul. Then, she vanished. I know what you are "talking about," Lark. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes,

Regis

You weigh your words well. Just remember, love comes from the inside out, not from the outside in... If you take the time to love/appreciate all that you are, you will find that others will notice the glow. M.True

Stay away from lawyers and politicians. Also pirates, poets, pawns, and kings. Writers? Take away their spell checker and they're nothing. Now, if you want to know where the last of the red hot lovers hang out...well, I'm not talking!

I don't think the riddle that's life can ever be totally explained, though the Buddhists call it Enlightenment but it can take many lifetimes to achieve it...e

Yes, we can waste our lives in tedious routine, filling every moment, or breakout and discover new horizons. One never knows where that lover will appear� maybe near.

Love the cadence and rhyme and the forlorn helplessness of the lady involved.

Loved this . . . Very fast moving poem, nice rhyming and above all something was worked out that will certainly benefit the writer. That friend is out there. Yes.
