Looking Poem by Smoky Hoss

Looking

Rating: 5.0


Looking out over the shimmering desert
Through the sun burnt mirage
I wonder if I shall see you appear,
Walking to me -
Looking into the dark depths
Of the rolling sea
At the furthest distance, hoping to catch sight of you,
Swimming towards me -
Looking up and out
Into the night sky of endless space
A distant star twinkling and moving,
Is that you, coming this way? -

Why do I beleive?
Why would I even consider
With all that you are,
That you would be returning -somehow- to me (of all people) ?

Why do I
Endlessly, everywhere, in everything,
Continue looking...
Looking, for You God.

The trick is... to look inside oneself, I believe. A wonderful poem, good work.

A deep, almost etherall look, where we all surely must look-very emotive. A spiritful write, with conviction

This poem floats my boat. I love it great work Smoky, we look for God costantly notfeeling the worth in ourselves. Great write.
