Look within you,
I am so oft told
For that is where
He long lives,
He, for whom you
restlessly wander
Hopes of a
promised love who gives
Forever has He
been there
Never apart,
always near to you
But foolishly
have you refused to look
And yonder and
far do still pursue
Yes, tirelessly I
do seek Him wide
For never shall I
be certain otherwise
That it is indeed
He who waits within
And not just a
shadow to me suffice
I must in
compulsion knock on doors
To make sure He
too does not remain
From me lost,
waiting someplace
Standing alone at
the end of the lane
And till I have
sought Him high and low
And found not
even a hint of his being
Will I ever be
sure and believe as true
That it is within
I should be him seeking…
