Always Looking

I am looking,
always looking

through a glass
darkly -

through a glass
dimly

for the light.

Hoping
to be able to

make sense of what
I see before it

comes completely into
full vision and disappears.

Catching it early

means I can
hold it longer

in my heart,
longer in my mind,
and longer
in my soul where
passion hides with dreams
and longings for

more.

Because
all that lay
open and
in the light
is exposed

for

just

so

long.  And then,
it disappears to what
we were able to grab of it
and hold

somewhere

within.
