Where Are You

I have travelled far and wide
Even on the earth’s other side
But you were not there

I stood alone amidst the dark
Hearing the solitary sound of a deer’s bark
But you were not there

I read every book that I could get hold of
To catch between the lines your hidden thought
But you were not there

I searched among human faces
Read their palms for missing traces
But you were not there 

I wrote words of wisdom
Drew sketches of mystical kingdoms
But you were not there

Divine love why play truant with me
Are you a child who loves to play hide and seek?
