Inside Myself

Both lost and found

within yesterday’s

fierce drumming

of my heartbeat,

I reached for your

transparent spirit,

inside, outside,

familiar places

in the echo of

alleys and valleys,

hiss of the night

sinuous wandering

through thorns,

untangling sorrow

of unknown trails.

I hid lost in

primeval forests

waiting for the moon

to find my essence -

a silent movie

with no dialogue.

Exhausted

in my pursuit,

I refused

to give up

and found you

inside myself

in rich, dark earth,

final resting place

for lost souls.
