All day long 
I looked for You – 
around every turn
and under every mask.
Left wanting 
and feeling alone, 
yet somehow knowing 
the opposite,
I was drawn to 
the purity 
and vulnerability 
of Your creation; 
and while admiring 
its beauty, 
instinct led my eyes 
up 
to where You stood before me, 
gazing down at me… 
Your presence 
filled my soul 
so the wanting 
and the loneliness 
ceased 
– completely – 
as the awareness 
seeped in:
 
To find You, 
I only need to 
look up.
