You’re looking for
Fish in the trees
And wasting your time
And your tears
You’re looking for snakes
In the snow
But best search
The warm earth below
You’re looking for
Bees without stings
And you’re looking
For birds without wings.

Best take things
As they are
And stop looking
For what is not there
*If they don’t possess it
They can’t profess it
Much less give it
Away.
