wandering

i looked at my fingers
encrusted with dirt
blood dried from the cuts
but nothing on me hurt
id ended me search
with stunning success
found what i sought
but i must digress
i started this search
when i wanted something deeper
something wanted seeking
and i was the seeker
i started and home
but my search spread to the down
across my country
though nothing was found
i scoured the earth
for what i dont know
but when i find what i seek
my face will go aglow
the last placed i searched
was one lonely field
lost and abandond
with nothing to yield
but i started digging
this last place on earth
and what i found
finally ended my search
i placed what i seeked
gently back where it was found
and covered it softly
with the displaced ground
i traveled home
i sold all that i owned
got it turned to gold
and returned to the field unknown
i checked for my treasure
it was patiently waiting
so i bought up that field
with out hesitating
spent all that i had
for that small plot of land
and what it was hiding
fit right in my hand
a small leather bound book
full of words that i needed
the more that i read it
the more i believed it
so as i sit on my plot
of land that will not yeild
i read through my book
till it was finally revealed
what i had sought
was the author not the book
and what i had found
was him so i took
a simple moment
to invite him to stay
with in my heart
forever from this day
so when you are searching
my dear friend have faith
youll find what you need
if you patiently wait
