Searching

Searching deep in darkened places,
Reaching into vacant spaces, 
I touch only shadowy faces….
Where are you?

Empty caves in endless mountains,
Dusty, dry, neglected fountains,
Pathless, groping I move, hoping.
Where are you?

Past songless birds on leafless trees,
Across waveless oceans, and silent
seas, through fumbling nights that
 find no day, 
I move and try to find my way.
