My Heart, Come Find Me

By Lealina Evangeline A. Reyes

 

My feet kiss the ground,

Cementing the shape of its outline into the soil,

Until another steps above my own layer.

 

One after the other, I walk, seemingly endlessly

This little ground I have ran across too myriad a time to count,

Now envelopes me into itself.

 

But I am never lost,

On the contrary, I am always found.

 

By faces that my eyes have not seen in months past,

Embraces that have not warmed me in too long.

 

In each finding of familiarity, 

I encounter a piece of myself I once knew,

Coming in the form of people carrying fragments of my Heart.

 

This organ I have shred and shared

In the hopes of finding me in August evenings.
