I Looked for You
I looked for you in the wadi
I looked for you by the banyan tree
I felt your presence
But you did not appear
I looked for you by the sea
And a mermaid came and told me
She knows where you are
Gave me hope somehow
I looked for you in the sky
I saw a dove fly
She told me she knows
Where I can find you
I looked for you in the meadow
Lovely flowers bowed their heads in the breeze
Nodded when I asked about you
I felt comforted
I looked for you in the desert
Up and down the massive dunes
The wind came and whispered
That he knows where you breathe
The moon rose in the stars-sprinkled sky
She whispered to me
That she knows you are well
I felt relieved
I fell asleep on a mossy covering of forest floor
I dreamed of you
I awoke to the songs of birds
All telling me that they know where you are
A butterfly alit nearby on a lovely wild flower
I thought of you
I thought of me
Please butterfly
May you tell my love
Tell her all

You know how those butterflies are
Flitting from one lover to another.
I knew a love like this once I was with her 26 years and then she went away.. Great write I really enjoyed this
Love ya!
