Running and Looking
I am running
I have been running for
A long time
Perhaps all my life.
Running to or from
I don't know
But running, running, running
Just the same.
Also, I am looking.
I can't imagine why
I should look:
I've found it several times.
Rather, it found me
So I think.
I know it when and then
And never know it now:
Frus-tra-tion!
It keeps leaving
Or I keep leaving it
Hard to say
Or it and I get parted
But mostly I think that
It leaves me
And I can't help wondering
Why that should be,
Why it leaves?
