I Tried to find you

I tried to find you, but you weren’t there.

I could see you, hold you should I choose to. I was with you, but I couldn’t feel you.

I began asking, is this worth the trip?

But then I blocked all the voices out.

Silencing the music that filled my head.

And within countable moments you started creeping in.

I’d forgotten that you were not just sight.

Not just the salty breeze and the glam sparkly wave.

You were not just texture.

Granular and shifty.

You are also the quietest little splash.

The wind that hums within the trees.

And I find you in the filled silence.
