Reflective Pools
i cannot find you
i have looked everywhere
inside and outside
under the stairs
i cannot find you
not in the street
or the town park
but perhaps its in the rhythm
of my lazy heart
i cannot find you
i do not hear your voice
saying that it won’t be long
i cannot locate your beat
have you really gone?
left for the mountain
as a trickle in a river
i cannot find you
all i found was my shiver
what can i do
i looked in the wardrobe
and found the glue
i checked under my bed
but i cannot find you
i even looked inside my head
and to my surprise
i found you in my memories
like reflective pools from my eyes
