Can i ever
find you in
the stars or
your love in
the rivers that
constantly flows
and meandering
following its path
and destiny
but never stops
for anyone.
Can i find
constant and consistent
love in this fickle
heart that never
stops beating.
When will this
breeze that rushes
past me ever stops
to wait for me,
maybe love is
hidden within
your speed.
How can i
ever catch up
with the spirit
in the air
or hold it
within my palm,
maybe love can
stop and just
for a moment
embrace my being.
How is it
that my optical
eyes can not
behold the things
of the heart,
yet i can
feel the
eternal presence
of it's breathe
pounding within
as if it
wants to burst out
into the open
like the ocean tide
that will later
finally abates.
Maybe love is
just a fleeting
illusion that is
better take in
like the air
into the lungs
just to live
from moment to moment.
If you ever
find it's hiding
place would you
please tell
love I'm also
looking and waiting.
