They Seek You in the Storm

They seek you in the storm

riding high above the lightning, striking

the yielding earth with your fire.

In fields of the dead; in

seeds flung deep -

the generations unknown,

they seek you

in the stars

coldly staring,

your imagined face

in the emptiness of

interstellar

space.

But I know you. 

Lurking

in my lonely night,

alone, I seek.
