I tried to find you and me (circa AD 2000)

asking, seeking and knocking

 

I WAS LOST IN MY CONCEPTION

WHO CAN FIND ME

AND WHERE SHALL MY EXISTENCE BE

COULD IT BE IN THEE

 

YOUR CONNOTATION I THOUGHT I PERCEIVED

BUT FOUND NOT YOUR PREMISE

FROM WHERE SHALL COME MY PERSPECTIVE

WHAT CAN BE MY SIGNIFICANCE

 

TIME HAS TAUGHT, MISLED AND LEFT ME ATHIRST

I SOUGHT WITH YOU TO DRINK OF YOUR CUP

AN ERRONEOUS HOPE OF MY CIRCUMSTANCE

FOR YOURS WAS TO GRACIOUSNESS, MINES NOT AS SUCH

 

I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME

I SELF-CONTAINED IN AN EARTHLY REALM

YOU ARE ECUMENICAL, INFINITE AND ETERNAL

FALLACIOUSLY SEARCHING THROUGH-OUT LAND AND SEE

BEWILDERMENT I FOUND, YOU I COULD NOT SEE

 

WITH SCHOLARLY DUTY I SEARCH THE SCROLL FOR A HINT

AS TO WHERE I SHOULD GO AND WHERE YOU HAD WENT

SEARCHING OBEDIENCE LIKE A DISCIPLE WHO FOLLOWS

TRACING STEPS OLD AND KNOWN TO BE HALLOW

 

WHEN I FOUND YOUR WAY I ENDEAVORED TO COME

BUT MY CHAINS TO THE WORLD WOULD NOT BE UNDONE

SECURED IN OBSCURITY, BLACKNESS SO DARK

THE KEY TO MY PRISON THE LIGHT LOCKED AWAY IN MY HEART

 

HOW SHALL I FIND ME WITHOUT THE WARMTH OF YOUR LIGHT

AND HOW SHALL I FIND YOU IN MY DARKNESS OF SIGHT

I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME

 

THEY SAY YOU ARE DEFINED AS PERFECT LIBERTY

WORD SAYS YOUR IN DIVINITY, I IN INIQUITY

I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME

MY MIND’S EYE IS QUICK TO FORGET

MY SOUL’S EXEGESIS OF PURPOSEFULNESS

 

I LOOK IN A MIRROR TO SEE WHOM I BE

BEHOLDING AN IMAGE OF YOU OR OF ME

I’M SEPARATE FROM WHOLENESS APART FROM YOU

BUT OUR PARITY AND ONENESS I’VE FOUND IN YOUR TRUTHS

 

I FIND AND FOUND THAT IN YOU THERE IS WE

NOT ONLY IN THEORY DO I KNOW THIS TO BE

THAT YOU ARE IN ME AND I AM IN YOU

JUST AS YOUR HALLOW TRINITY, A FACTUAL TRUTH

I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME
