For Now

We do it to Live.

We set out to find it, 
In our own ways.

We search it
In places, in people
In liquors, in antiques
In words and in drugs,
In marriages, in walks
In food and in paintings
In oceans in deserts
In love and in death
We learn how to laugh
as a way out of our pains,
We go and seek it
To live.
