the quiet of the night
has come upon me
as I sit here in the silence
and listen to the absence
my heart tiptoes
across the syllables of mist
deep within the recesses of my heart
wondering where you are
when will I find you
what is this longing
I feel within
what is it that keeps me searching
why have you eluded me
I find YOU

in the children’s smiles
I find YOU in my friends
I find YOU in the SUN
I find YOU in the MOON
I find YOU in the Stars
yet…I am restless still…
and
still…
I seek you…
Footprints of Thoughts 
You have captured in words our eternal quest and journey my friend and well said!!

I think the yearning proves to me that there is a God…that we live in the Heart of God and that is where our journey through life leads us…so the yearning is the LOVE FORCE pulling us forward, out of ourselves, towards GOD
