You are Searching For Me – I am waiting For You
WrenTEK 2004
You have emptiness within, but you know not why.
You have tried this, that, & the other, you are not happy, but you know not why.
You look high & low, to & fro, but you know not why.
You have something stirring deep within, nagging & pushing, tugging & pulling, but you know not why.
You are searching for me, but you know not why. You know not who.
I am the book that nags to be read on the shelf.
I am the flower that blossoms in spring & the fresh fallen snow in winter.
I am the heat of a summer day & the cool river for a swim.
I am the falling leafs on a crisp autumn day & the afternoon sun the sends joy to your spirit.
I am the darkness of a cold winters day & the warmth of the hearth fire.
I am the sun that springs forth growth & I am the full moon that beckons your soul.
I am the wind that blows the voice of reason & I am the rising tide.
I am light & I am darkness.
I am warmth & I am cold.
I am loving-kindness & I am the genuine smile from a stranger.
I am everywhere & I am nowhere.
I can light the way to fill the emptiness, but I cannot fill it.
I can lend a hand on the steep path, but I cannot climb it.
I can show the door, but I cannot open it.
I can provide a key to open the mind, but I cannot turn it.
I can invite the soul to awaken, but I cannot wake it.
I can grab your attention, but I cannot hold it.
Follow my light it shows the path, but you may turn back.
Take my hand it can support the next step, but you may turn back.
See the door – open it, but you may turn back.
Stand in the door – have you arrived, but may turn back.
Step across the thresh hold – when you dare, bathed in awakened light you may never turn back.
Who am I? I am one who illuminates the path.
