An old write I never posted

Soul Searching
~*~


To inspire, is a desire
Lingering deep
In one's heart
'Neath a soul
On fire
Searching
the inner sanctums
Of truth
In your most valued
Treasured moments,
In life's strive
Reaching out to retrieve
The wants
Never possessed
Now could they be recovered
To remold, this modern sanity
That tends to set itself afire.

Soul Searching, I have found, is rather an uncommon trait (at least among non-writers). You have beautifully described it herein. Thanks for digging it out and posting it.

...perhaps looking back...we desire moments lost...and if though not found...the happiness of knowing those moments were once held within us...still sustain the soul...keep its fire alive. You looked back into the old...found this pen...brought us happiness...the fire alive.
well done...
