A Poem I Wish to Find

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



In the depths of my mind,
A poem I wish to find,
One that's never been spoken,
A true gem, unbroken.

A masterpiece of art,
A rhythm that sets apart,
A melody that sings true,
A message that breaks through.

With words that flow like a river,
And emotions that make us shiver,
A story that captures the soul,
And leaves us feeling whole.

It speaks of love and life,
And all the joys and strife,
Of hope that never fades,
And dreams that never shade.

This poem is one of a kind,
A true treasure to find,
A beauty that will endure,
Forever pure and secure.
