Search For A Soul... Poem by Alok Singhal

In the solitude of my heart I look for company
In the emptiness I find my friends
In the sea of mortals I find myself walking alone
I look for souls like me who look for souls …like mine
It’s a constant waiting…a search that never ends
Sometimes though I got lucky when I met someone at life’s bends
But that was momentary nothing lasting or eternal
Someone still gives me a distant call and tells me not to stop
A voice from no where guides me in directions which no one dares
I go on and on in this endless travail, a journey so purposeful and yet so meaningless…
The pains, the scars, the sobs and the sighs do not deter me
The even so optimist, my soul, seeks another forlorn, forbidden creature of God
Who like me is in the search…?
Wonder what it will be like when we meet?
The suspense, the uncertainty, the waiting, the wail…is no less like looking for the Holy Grail.
