I look

I look to the mountains I look to the sea I look in the mirror but only see me

I look to the sky I look to the ground I look for someone but there is no one around 

I look to the future I look to the past I look for happiness but how long will it last

I look to my happy times I look to my sad I look to myself and the life I could have had

I look in the darkness I look in the light I look at the wrong I have done and I look at the right 

I look up in heaven I look down below I look for my ending and when I must go

I looked everywhere and there is one thing I see that I can look anywhere but I will never find me.

A very good rhyming poem on self-reflection, Paul. It accounts that you are taking a hard look. I like how you’ve included the wide spread of nature & both heaven and earth. Well done - I enjoyed this read today. ThkU for sharing. Sending blessings., Ghairo.
