Goddess

I have searched for you everywhere. 

I looked for you in the changing moon,

and in the rising sun. 

I swam in rivers cold

and walked amongst tall trees. 

I lit candles in your honor, and tried many hats on for size.

I listened to the whispering wind

and tasted burning forests in the air. 

I watched countries destroyed

and questioned all the death.

And then, when all the

noise, 

death,

emotions,

and nauseating smells threatened to break me,

You appeared.

and I realized it was You,

always You.

In everything,

and were everywhere,

and had been with me all along.
