Traveling With A Star Search
In the realm of love, I've wandered far A traveler without a map, without a star I've searched for answers in the eyes of strangers And found solace in the whispers of the wind My heart beats like a drum in the silence of night A rhythm that echoes through the desolate streets I've walked the paths of sorrow and of joy And found that love is the thread that weaves them all together. Like a river that flows to the sea My soul yearns to merge with the divine To lose myself in the ocean of love
