Where Will You Find Me?


Where will you find me as years go by?
     Will you think to look in the shadow
      of a mystical mountain?
Named and renamed for the footprints
     and feathers of those who came first,
Or in the pastures that
       silver seed sustains.
Will I be among the laughing and smiling,
     breathing in warm afternoons
     or hidden among new family
  along a ravaged coastline?
Where will you find me as years go by?
     amid the vanguard dazed
by natural disaster or within the warm
     wind that pushes healing and implodes
the will of ancestors.
Will I be hidden and forever lost,
     like the poems that weave through
     my leaking imagination at night.
Where will you find me?
     Or rather,
Will you find me
                       as years go by?
