A Cloud Named Looking-for-Youby Marne L. Kilates
My heart aches like the heaving sea;
My tears riddle the face of the water;
My pain comes in guests, emptying me.
Cursed with wandering, thin as air,
How can I touch the bottom of this grief?
How can I lift this shroud that covers
My love's grave?
My heart heaves like the aching sea;
My tears riddle the face of the water;
My pain comes in guest, emptying me.
