I’LL KEEP LOOKING

MAYBE SOMEDAY

I have

Looked to the sun

Many times

On my best of days

In my darkest hour

For hope

Redemption

For judgement

And permission

Sometimes

For peace

And simple comfort

I seek

Its infinite wisdom

I envy

Its perpetual light

Its solitude

Its perseverance

My heart

Knows its warmth

My soul

Reveres its depth

I long to know

Its storied history

To unveil

All its secrets

To prosper

From its wisdom

I often

Speak to it

It never responds

Though, I find it to be

A good listener

I smile

When it rises

I cry

When it sets

It is a loyal

And steady friend

It’s always there

Plain as day

Behind the clouds

I count on it

Even when it rains

Maybe one day

It will shine

Just for me

As if to say,

“I see you

I know you’re there

Today

I’m here for you

For you alone

Remember this day

When I’m gone

I’ll see you tomorrow”

Maybe someday

Until then

I’ll keep looking
