Heather

I’ve searched the world to catch a glimpse of her,
I saw the clothes, I saw the fame
I saw the fads each one as they came,
But I never found her.

I’ve searched the earth to steal a glimpse of her,
I saw the picture but not the face
Heard the rumors of her social place
But I never found her.

I’ve searched the Heavens to find a reflection of her
I saw the outside, the physical shell
When I gazed in her mirror I saw everyone else
But I never found her.

I’ve given up the search to catch a glimpse of her
I realize now she has been buried forever
She allowed the world to put her life on a tether
And that, I discover, is why I never found Heather.
