How Will I Find You?

How Will I find You?

Posted on November 24, 2013 by billyraychitwood1

Thinking one day of my mortality and the next dimension, my thoughts turned to Julie, my wife, my love, and how I would find her there in the land that only the soul can know. These are the words that came to me:

How Will I Find You?

There in the light blue sky

Where I look for your face

In the soft white puff of cloud?

There in the empty chair

Where you once quietly sat

In the room of my solitude?

There in the now barren garden

Where I once watched you

Kneeling, planting your seeds?

There along the pristine beach

Where we collected sea glass

Among the gulls and shells?

Where will you be when I am

In the shadows of tomorrow

A man lost in youth’s sorrow?

How will I find you, my love

Knowing not where to look

In such a strange new world?

When my timid spirit wavers

There in that unknown land

How will you return to me?

In the darkness that is death

What is God’s demand of me

To atone for sins of life?

Why does this most peculiar

Etching of words play so

Strongly upon my defiled soul?
