Searching
I am looking for something
I look everywhere
Sometimes I give in
Go to a cafe and sit and stare
I'm looking for something
It may not even exist
A halcyon dream
Impossible to resist
Possibly I'm looking in all the wrong places
With the wrong tools I dig
Where there are not even traces of traces
I'm looking for something I don't understand
Beyond my invention
Or comprehension
Just beyond the lie of the land
And when I find it
It will not last
A passing nod from a familiar stranger
In my now immediate past
A friendly cat, a smiling child
A fleeting chat
A walk in the wild
When it comes it never lasts
A fleeting glimpse of the closing act
