Don't search for me in some farway place.
Don't look for a smile on a stranger's face.
Rather, seek me out in the summer's sky
Hear my voice in a curlew's cry.
Don't yearn for me when the year falls around,
Nor see my footprints in fresh tilled ground.
Instead hear my laugh in a tumbling stream
My presence will soothe, in a warm filled dream.
No sadness, tears, no time to grieve.
I live all around, in the air that you breathe.
