My Hallelujah

I ask myself
If you are there
Or not
Most often I think you are not
There was a time
That I kissed your feet
Believed unequivocally
It was comforting
But then
The empty
I looked for you
Looked
And looked
Endlessly searching
I found nothing
But when I see
The beauty of the souls
I have been blessed to
Know in this life
No matter what happens
Regardless of the passage of time
Victories and defeats
Joys
Tragedies
I look into their eyes
Or read their words
Then I see the soul
Of another human being
I can always find it
I still have no idea
If you are there
But I have never lost it
Inside of me
Defining hope
I close my eyes
And there it is, my
Hallelujah
