present

one day I was

another day and I will be

am I here today?

Search much as I do

I find some more just like me

yet me

with one fine line evades me

hides me

I search behind bushes

I search against the backdrop

I search among men

I reach across women

I play among children

make a loud sound

or do give a moan

at least lend your hand

and let me bring me here!
