I searched for goodness
But it never was.
Perhaps sublimed and in the shadow, I reckoned
And I searched.in vain.
Ruth and empathy, I searched about
But it never was.
Little pearls of Godliness,that endure in all
I sought, but it never was.
The smile, the words, quenching they seemed
So, yet, I searched again
And of no avail.
Scintilla of hidden goodness
That might be in us all
I searched in depth and with hope
But it never was.
Lament I did,'pray, I be wrong’.
I wailed, falter did I, in search?But I saw,nay it was not so;
Because, ‘Frailty’ was her name!

Oh no. I did not mean to generalize as the 'Bard'did.
Yes it is about "A WOMAN" and not women.

@ Tomz
Thank you for the visit and comment.
The quest such has positive answers in differnt places. It is when we demand again , expect more, are we drawing a blank. Unless once frail, you can't be strong:)
Just wondering what inspired, motivated you to scribble these lines….!!
@ the holy lama,
Dear friend I m afraid that either my novice attempts with verses failed to connect with you or you may not have noticed, what I wanted to convey.
@ deeps
Irrespective of the likes and dislikes of people of varied hues, I strongly endorse the view that if one can write about a thing it will be and can be only out of experience. Deeper the emotions, stronger the words.
And who hath the power to evoke emotions in the other as strong as it can ever be ?
Guess
beautiful poem
