If indeed every star
Has it's time to shine
How do I find my light?

Drilling in a desert
Only parched earth in sight
On an expedition
In search of me

There are days
When I feel close......
Vibrations of miracle water
Trickle just underfoot

Never quite reaches the surface
Of this barren land
Even the weeds have withered

A pin point in the distance
Of darkest night
A dot in the midst of
A thousand points of light

I am a flicker
In the stratosphere
There must be more
I am meant to be

A halogen glow
In the presence of the sun
Brilliant.... but has yet
To shine on its own

Very fine piece on a quest for meaning without loading it with so much emotional baggage. There is plenty of <i>I long for</i> without all that <i>I feel so...</i>. This gives it greater appeal. There are plenty of people who can relate to the general feel of longing, but everyone's emotional response to the feel of longing is different for different reasons. By focusing on the longing aspect, this gives it a more universal aspect.

I love this piece and in particular, "I am a flicker in the stratosphere, there must be more I am meant to be" ... even on a purely philosophical level, I love that! The searching to find who we are is keenly felt from your words. Excellent read!
