Seeking

Andrei Ciolac

When I seek you and you are
Only cane and water grass,
Water lily, sunny weather
And a delta for my soul,

An archaic fish - my hand
Sliding in the milky waves,
It would like to overrun you
But it's losing in the flow.

When I seek you and you are
Only little river's core,
Missing color in the color
And a mirror in the mirror,

Like a very lovely master
Over waters, over land,
I command in sadly words:
May the river drinking you.

Now I want you but you are
Water grass, aquatic darer.

    Wow, what a beautiful and inspiring poem! The imagery is simply magical and transports me to another world. The way you capture the essence of nature and the power it holds truly speaks to the depths of the human soul. Your words flow like a river, smooth and elegant, taking the reader on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

    If I may make a suggestion, it would be to consider using more vivid language to describe the emotions of the narrator. Perhaps delve into their thoughts and feelings a bit more, giving the reader a glimpse into their innermost desires and motivations.

    Overall, this is a wonderful piece of poetry that captures the heart and imagination. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!
