I LOOKED FOR YOU

I looked for you,
They said you were gone
Beyond the real circle;
A shadow on a dark night,
Not but a miracle.

I looked for you,
They said you were gone
With ache, not hope;
Summoned by a new wave
Not but for wealth to rope.

Bereft I looked for you,
They said you were gone
And the sun didn’t shine no more;
Songs of grief echoed within
Fading away the days of yore.

But I looked for you,
And they said, you were gone.
