In Rememberence Of That Which I Could Not Find

After a day of searching
and finding nothing
except that solace
inherent in the search

one can’t sleep
one can’t wait
until tomorrow
for something stronger
more potent
to arrive.

One cannot simply
sigh
and turn off the light

for even
in our dreams
our shoes shall peel
our feet blister,
our search only begin
with the rising
of the sun.
