Looking For You Poem by Eric Cockrell

looking for you...
in all the small things
i do to get by every day...
in the clouds in the sky
that turn at sunset...
in the song i hum
that has no name...

looking for you...
in the dishes i dry,
and stack on the shelf...
in the quiet time walking
with my old dog...
in the books i read
in the failing light....

looking for you...
in the aches and the pains
this old body feels...
in the softness that
momentarily overhelms me...
in the crook in the road,
in the last candle of night...

looking for you...
in the words i cant speak,
in the thoughts i cant think,
in the feelings i cant name...
looking for you...
in the hollow of my arms,
in the empty place
that no one else knows....
in the kiss frozen in time.....

looking for you...
