The Search

he said I'm looking for something
don't know exactly what it is
I know I have this vision
and I have an extensive list

she said I know it's out there
let me give you some advice
you can't find what you're looking for
till you know what it is

he said I've gotta keep searching
I've got to move on from here
maybe it's further north
this thing that my heart needs

she said then keep on looking
I hope you find it there
this thing that you are searching for
that you did not find here

This makes me so sad! I really like it though, the way you involved both perspectives is really well done. I look forward to reading more of your poetry! -Katie
