I cannot see

I search all night and day

I travel through the gullies and the swamps

I look and I look and I cannot find what I seek and with no reprieve does that aching my belly

The tormented bloating inside

Stuffed to the brim

Even with what I have in my chest

The act of finding it

Overflows from my mouth

I have ridden through every pass and traveled in every river and I am watched in the trees

But yet I cannot visualize in a tangible array of photons and light my lens do not recognize from which it has come and from where

Yet it has always been there lurking around the trees

Buried in the brush

Around every corner I have turned

Hunting me

Still I look and I cannot see and again and again

I see but I don’t and still with blurry eyes visibility of a figure and a tree invisibility mixed in the environment from which I am and still nothing and everything is there

Watching me all night and every day

In every whisper

In every action

In every thing

I cannot see
