I lost my way somewhere back
and I haven't considered why,
I thought I knew how to love
but now I know I just get by.

Don't bother to do a search for me,
I suppose I'll be back eventually.

For now, I travel on
looking for places I've never been,
lonely, but it suffices,
better than trying to pretend.
And maybe I'll realize in the end
the place I should be is the place I'm in.

Don't bother to do a search for me,
I suppose I'll be back eventually.

some searches are worth finding
others are across a world in ways binding
and the rest will follow as you will see

a poet who cares

thanks all

the new pic was taken in bright sunlight, of course I'm not used to that since I work at night LOL

and having about 3 hours sleep at the hotel the night before didn't help either

I think the new pic is great...and of course
your writing is top shelf as always.  You
will always have a home here, you know that.
