The Seeker

Joseph Murphy

My cares seemed an illusion
That mild day: fists
Unclenched; clarity;
Renewal.

I’d begun to sift
Through clutter and symbol;
Rethink my track,
Ear to ground.

Rising, spirited, determined:
I knew I’d find you; breathe life
Into your chalked image;

Coax hope from the grit; restore
My dust-covered globe.

I soon began to sort
Through phrases I’d broken,
Hunting for the right one
To wish upon.

I hadn’t yet begun to wonder
Which illusion I’d live: the brilliance
Of our joined bodies,
Or a glance
Milled from thought.
