Looking for signs

 

Are you the star in the midnight sky that I've been staring at?

Are you the Cardinal on the neighbors roof that sings in the morning?

Are you the Mourning Dove that coos from the high wire in front of our house?

Did you send that red leaf that floated down right in front of me from the tree out front?

Was it you who left that Hawk feather in the front yard?

I saw a Catfish with bright blue eyes...looking right at me...was that you?

Are  you in the rain that patters against the bedroom window at night?


You are everywhere and Nowhere all at the same time.

I long to hear your voice and it scares me knowing that I will never hear it again.

How can I bear this loss??? 

How long does this last...this...this yearning?

This searching...this dreaming...this wanting....

I keep looking for signs but I never find....You.
