134: Ask:/What are we searching for...

DateThursday, November 18, 2010 at 6:39AM

Ask:

 

What are we searching for

and why are we searching?

 

It’s here and there

it’s five fingers reaching up

from the earth

it’s a deep droplet chasing

down after us

it’s the wind of laughter

deafening us with contagious joy

 

Whatever it is we’re after

it’s all around us

embracing us like the air

like being immersed in water

 

This undefined perfection we’re seeking

it only our imagining

There is no knowing

there is only my hand catching my face

as I cry tears of laughter.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. I like the idea that anyone can comment with out registering, but this may be potentially abused as well.
