We Are Here

Where are we?
Well, we're right here, don't you see?
We are always with you.

Oh, we know, it's trite to say that we are found in the crackling leaves of autumn, or offering comfort on the winds of a warm summers breeze.

You already know that it is we who conspire the discovery of all those beautiful heart-shaped stones;
that you can catch our scent in air thick with magnolia and pine.

You've heard all these things before but yet still you wonder, 'Where are we?' so we thought it better that you reconsider your question by asking instead, 'Why do you choose to show yourselves in this way?' To which we would joyfully reply, 'What an excellent question! How clever you are to ask it!'

When you are walking under a canopy of trees that suddenly dance as you pass by, it is because we are giving you a round of applause. Linger for a moment. Take a bow! Lord knows you deserve it.

And on those days when you're lost in your mind, looking for hope or direction,
we lay before you a trail of hearts to show you that true happiness can only be found by following what you love.

When a gust of wind can be a hug, and a scent can give you pause,
we don't see how any other method to communicate could be so rich with experience and emotion.

Where are we?
We are standing beside you.
We are looking where you look,
touching what you touch,
and listening to every word you're not saying.

We are doing everything we can to react with you and your surroundings to remind you that we are here, we exist, and we have never left you.

Perhaps now the question no longer becomes, 'where are we?' but instead, 'where are you?"
