Looking

~ T M Mulligan

There are so

Many people looking

Looking for this

And that looking

For things outside

Looking for those

People that will

Complete them completely

Always looking ahead

Looking to what’s

Next looking around

The corner or

Across the room

Looking for that

Hint that glint

Of cautious interest

Of invitation of

Hope always looking

Away from where

They find themselves

Truth be that

The joy that

They look for

Is in the

Last place that

They look it’s

Oddly found there

Right with them
