Find Me

All these hands, broken hands

They applaud me

But I keep falling in your path like a dead tree

All these feelings are lies, somehow they haunt me

As if they're waiting their turn to supplant me...supplant me

I'm a little boy between the great legs of giants

Whimpering and timid in my lack of defiance

And I prayed that you'd find me

And how I prayed that you'd find me

You're still waving at me in the distance

The shimmer glimmering half-hearted in resistance

Against the sorrow welling up in your eyes

I could help you, but you never bought my lies

I'm a big strong man between my ego and pride

Mourning now the little boy, who deep inside has died

But I hoped that you would find me

Good god I need you to find me

Hard not to watch as the sun hides you in its blinding embrace

Though I lose sight of your guidance, 'cause I'm shielding my face

And I'm stumbling right after you

But you're

Long

Gone

I'm a quivering mess to you

And you're not wrong

I'm an old man now, and my hair is all turned grey

My ego and my pride - age has sent them on their way

And now I know you won't find me

You will will never ever find me

I know you won't find me

You will never

Find me.

Hi Jaime,

I've "found you".  I've found your poem to be a beautiful write.  Tear producing and thought engendering.  Very well done.

Peace and Love,

You're a kind man, Larry. Thank you. Sobering thought processes and self-analysis, as well as unsullied self-honesty went into this....not a great write, in my own opinion, but as every poet understands, sometimes words are just not enough to convey the true, raw emotions felt within the hearts of men.

May both you and Cherie be blessed. <3
