I Seek But Will I Find

I seek but will I find 
The lost, hidden 
The divine. 

No path is shown 
No way is clear 
Trudging onward 
Holding on to thoughts 
Of what may be
Near. 

Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing 

Sometimes
Good things 
Stand 
Being there for me
To embrace 

Hiding
In
Plain sight.

I Listened To You Speak

 

 

 

 

I listened to you speak
Saw what you want
And seek.

A sadness overwhelmed
The likes of me
Realizing neither I
Or anyone on earth
Could satisfy such a hunger
Such a thirst.

I came away feeling
Worthless in this sadness
that makes me cry
For nothing, nothing
I could say or speak
Would give you
What you want and seek.
~ Patrice
