I will find you
I will find you in the corner of my mind
where wildflowers replaced minefields
deactivated by protectors of the peace
I will find you living amongst the dead
melding within the countryside
free from worry and
greeting each morning with open arms
I will find you like a promise finds a keeper
like a satellite finds her signal
like a caterpillar finds new life
august two thousand sixteen
