the journey

each moment
i search.
---
i collect the fallen leaves of autumn
and go through them
one by one,
in search of you.
---
i smell the rain.
the summer rain,
the winter rain,
and the rain that fills the heart
and i sail through them
wave by wave,
in search of you.
---
i touch the cold walls of the temple
trail my fingers through the cracks
try to feel,
what cannot be seen,
in search of you.
---
i have scattered myself into shreds
and sat whole nights
reading each word written,
in search of you.
---
i have put myself together,
in search of you.
---
---
For
In finding you
I find myself.
