Are you searching?

The Search

A circle.

 A fire with

family, friends.

Warmth and conversation.

We are seekers.

Seekers of the social.

Lovers of the group.

All searching for the smile.

A curving of lips upward.
Approval.

That crinkle about the eyes

the light that flickers there,

when humour and fun get together.

A song too, can hold people close.

A story, some history.

Someone throws back their head and laughs aloud.

This is home.
