I trudged along countless pathways
Traveled the continents far and wide
Climbed mountains where none had gone before
Crossed rivers seemingly wide as a sea
Walked through the woods and did not see the majesty
Attended festivals in far off places hearing not a sound
Dined on the finest cuisine with an asleep palate
Looked at mirrored walls and saw no reflection
Carried a satchel of burdensome shattered dreams
Drank wine with strangers in far-away places
Awoke one morning in your arms
Realizing then why the arduous journey.

But you will continue with the journey...
A long way of experiences in finding him. Sounds like you really did a lot til you finally met your love. Is it like that with us all?

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
Perhaps "..Quiet Storm" will help rekindle old flames buried and long forgotten or express the love so deeply locked inside of your soul longing to be released.
Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
