Seek

What was I seeking when I wrote this poem? love! It was inspired by the idea that we are always seeking something - whether it be connection, reassurance, love, happiness, contentment, success, health or wealth. But usually that which we are seeking; is within us all along, and we just have to surrender ourselves to that possibility. In regard to love, we seek it in so many places, but in fact love can be anywhere or nowhere simultaneously.

You Seek Me Here

You seek me here,
I am the nectar within the bloom,
I am the hum of the breeze,
I am the twinkle of a distant star,
I am the love mirrored from a lover's gaze,
I am the stillness in a landscape,
I am the promise of growth and change,
I am your past, present and future,
I am - as it is,
You seek me there.
