The Endless Search

• Artist: F a t a l D e c o d e
• Description: A little poem about two lovers who have to constantly try to find each other in different lifetimes. It's kind of sad in a way but I hope you like it. The line "For whom the Bell Tolls" is from the 1940's novel by Ernest Hemingway, but I used it to basically describe the sound of death calling.
  
  Also (if anyone wants to know) the elements are capitalized because they are symbolic. But 'earth' isn't because that was literal.
  
  Much love to anyone who's kind enough to rate and comment!

Climbing onward,
Higher and higher.
Nothing will stop me;
I'll walk through Fire.

Pass the Clouds,
Into the Sky.
They want to stop me,
Just let them try.

If I'm struck down,
And return to the earth,
I'll bide my time,
And wait for rebirth.

Epitome of soul-bound,
They can't pull us apart.
They can't win against Fate,
Or the strength of my heart.

We'll find each other,
For it was meant to be.
Written in the stars,
Forever you and me.

Lifetime after lifetime;
I'll live through them all.
Until it's my time'
And I hear Death's call.

Through all the elements,
Wind, Sun and Rain.
We'll meet in a kiss,
Until parted again.

We will not fail
The Test of Time.
Searching, searching
'Til church bells chime.

The Sun will beat down,
But our love won't fade.
We'll weather the Storm,
Together in the shade.

A heart stutters...
We feel in our souls,
The meeting must end,
For whom the Death Bell Tolls.

Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate them! The part about the elements was not intended to link to Druidism, but you've got me really curious about it now. The tip about the third stanza was really helpful, rhythm has always been a difficult part of poetry for me to get right. Thanks again!

I liked the call back to Ernest, definitely. I also liked the elements part, especially (I don't know if you meant to or not, but those are the three elements in Druidism, and I'm a bit of a fan of that, so that's the reason). It flowed pretty well, though the third stanza's rhythm is a bit off. All in all a good poem.
