I looked for you everywhere.

I looked for you in the scriptures and books.

I looked for you by performing rituals.

I looked for you in the buildings.

I looked for you in the ground.

I looked for you in my parents.

I looked for you in my mate.

I could not find you.

Where is this illusive being?

It seemed that everyone knew of you, but me.

I gave up looking for you, after so long.

I, then found, you.

I found you in the sky’s night, by your winking at me.

I found you in the flower, by your smell.

I found you in the butterfly, by your dance.

I found you in people, by messages you sent me through them.

I found you in my joy and sorrow.

I found you in my laughter.

I found you in me.
