What do you look for? (You ask)

 

An ecstacy complete

Sustained and content

In need of nothing else

Other than itself

All embracing

Yet non referential

Truly deeply expressive

Constantly free

Not yearning or turning to see

What stands beyond

Nor behind or beneath:

As there is nothing to be found

And no one else to be freed

 

What do you seek? (You beseech)

 

Being beyond any notion of travel

Yet knowing beginning from end

A destination alien

Yet felt as truly home

An arrival to a place

Unknown that wraps its familiarity around me.

Finding no need to walk

Yet enjoying every new and starting step.

 

What do you pursue? (You press)

 

Feeling every motion as making sense

And every sense filled with emotion

Vicariously happy

Never fearing fragility

As sadness and pain

Is the feeling of happiness passing

So still and breathing:

Not seeking or waiting

For this magical moment to wane.

 

Then where may you find rest at? (You entreat)

 

Walking alone but never feeling lonely.

Cheering with crowds

yet hearing each persons quietened chanter.

Finding the storyline

hidden within the poetry.

Telling the story through the beat of this poem.

 

You ask me what I long for?

 

A vibrant dynamic

Encompassing all and accepting eternity

Fulfilling and settling this

And every continuing longing

 

You ask for what I look for?

 

I look for you.

And the sound of your step.

Will you walk with me?

So that we may keep enjoying

Seeking and looking together?
