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.
