I LOOK FOR YOU

i heard your voice

so faint and so true

 

twas a song from beyond

and our dance carried on

 

i smell the earth

i hear the wind

 

why must you go?

i feel the pressure of time

and wonder why at it all

 

i cast my eyes to the clouds

i look for you everywhere

 

i search the far reaches of space

and the depths of my heart

 

were we not born to die?

am i not destined for salt and soil.

 

I devour old tradition

and i harken past recollection

 

yet this world is not yours

and you exist only in my memory

Fire I, 2018.
