Seeking to See

I sought you in everyone
but found you in none.
Each time I thought you beckoned,
I rushed, but you were gone.

I know you, true and close
though we haven't ever met.
I see a little of you in all
but all of you... not yet.

Your presence pervades my being at times;
and I feel I'm full of you.
Then at times, you're lost to me;
And I must discover you, anew.

I know but I still can't see it through;
that all that is in me, is you!

Beckoning

I’ve found it at last,
The love of my life!
After the chase of a lifetime and
at the end of the line.

Just when I had given up hope
and resigned to my fate.
Just when I had decided
no longer to wait.

Just when I recognize that
my chase is in vain.
Just when I believe
I must fit in to be sane.

Here it is, it beckons
and it is a tall order.
Can I give up my existence
for the pursuit of my life?
