"Anywhere's a Better Place to Be" 
Harry Chapin, (1942-1981)

 
I search for love
Will it find me?
Hiding my heart
No way to be
 
Finding love is a long journey,
Heart on my sleeve
Here in my Better place

Author Notes
Thank you helvi2 for the great artwork

The Sapphonic Triad.
This form is an invention of our own Cliverde (Carol) and named by Pantygynt (Jim).
The form is as follows:

A two-line quotation (Free verse but max total of sixteen syllables - must be concise and memorable) followed by a quatrain, four lines each of four syllables finally an 8-4-6 syllable envoi that moves us on somewhere...it should have a "satori" feeling.
You can use rhyme.

This was a challenging form to write. I was glad to have Harry's quote with me.
