Searching I

How has your searching been?

Did all your wandering,

Stop all your wondering?

Or did you find

In all those places,

In all those faces,

Only empty shadows?

Yet, stalling then

You glimpsed a spark

Fleeting, listful in the dark.

Through ashrams, temples,

Palaces and huts,

You excitedly strut,

Chasing a glimpse.

Deep in your woods,

With head bent low

And tears aglow.

You see it shimmer

Once again,

Through

Your tears, your sobs.

And find where
