_Search_

Will I never find you,
 even when I die? Will my last, rasping breath meet yours
in the sky? After life’s endeavor is it you I will find? Or am I doomed forever 
to roam fatherless and blind? Will your ashes embrace mine at the bottom of the 
sea? Will the mighty Ganges unite you and me? Will I become like you a star in my
children’s sky? Father will I meet you at l(e)ast when I die?
