Wherefore Art Thou?

Sing to me O love that is not here

tell me of your presence, sometime

or give me a sign that all is good

and that you will be peeking behind

the red curtains soon, or a trumpet

calls, or an angel descends, or god

points, or a chorus chimes, forests

of chills are all that is seen a

dark wind stirring in tangled shadows

bowing and moving, just out of reach,

playfully impossible and frightening

the glow of hope, blown inside itself

like a red latern slowing ebbing away

or like a summer moment lasting an

eternity, life in a grain of sand,

running softly, tumbling in sadness,

of the hope of a unicorn, only to see

a pinecone lying alone on a carpet of

madness strewn and forgotten memories.
