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?
