FIND
In the morning, I could not find you. And I mistook an old man for your glory. And I went about my day, Sometimes looking for you here, Maybe over there, at that corner, maybe this one. I saw a red hat on a beach And thought you had left it. I grabbed it and called out your name, And a child came running. We played for a while, until I had to Continue my search. In the night I did not feel you. And I let someone else in, Until the water-pot was almost full But evaporating quickly. It was in a dream we met. And when I am awake I dream of sleeping. To get those glimpses of you, There in my dark place. But I do not know If we will meet in daylight. You might reveal my soul And carry it away. When it comes, Find me well and able to deal.
