In the woods,

by the lake,

on the streets, I looked for you.


In the faces and gestures of strangers.

In songs long forgotten,

in the smell of your favorite foods.


In libraries and records, I looked for you.


In the waves on the shore,

in the black moonless night.


In the sunset,

in the thunderstorms,

in the snow falling on Christmas Eve I looked for you.


Beyond sanity,

beyond life and death,

through the bowels of the earth, I looked for you.


So don’t tell me I didn’t look for you.


I looked everywhere.
