Instigated by listening to a retro Russian song. Sarah just misses something or someone she can't define.

Someone


My soul has a nest on clouds.

So restless, never calm -

Perhaps, I miss some… one,

My feet are lost within the crowds

Walking through mass,

Like through high grass:

My listless glance still wanders,

Not meeting anyone…

Just chasing silly tiny wonders…

Such as sunbeams, for fun.

I'm dreamless: scary nothing.

Have I forgotten something

Or, possibly, someone,

My heart remembers,

Not my tongue?

My perplexed mind surrenders:

Why at the height of summer noon

I'm looking for the winter moon?

And where is my Beyond?

3

Behind the windowpane,

I hear the maples rustling,

And wistful winds whistling,

I harken to the orchestra of rain.

Cracking of twigs?

Or flapping of wings?

Feeling insane?

But I want… won't turn my world

To face that someone,

Who's always been my silent ward,

Afraid to see… no one.

4

Years keep rushing forward,

While I'm a child of backward.

And what about my whereabouts,

Neither above, nor underground?

I need to run…

So fast and far,

Faster and farther.

How much sand will it take to find

My special Someone from Beyond?

To solve the lacking puzzle?

My soul has a nest on clouds.

So restless, never calm -

Perhaps, I miss someone.
