Do I seek you?

Where do I seek you?

 

God

I say that I seek you

in all I do

 

But I look

in the noise of mindless music

in the television’s continuous voice

 

I hunt for you

by being in charge

by filling each moment

by running away

 

I don’t stop

to hear you voice

your answer

 

When I am lonely

When I am sad

I cry to you

 

but when things are good

the need disappears

and I don’t seek you

 

And then I don’t

listen for you

to answer my cry
