Do not look for me
Hidden in a fort
Beneath icy snow
Still falling carelessly above
Between the daffodils and daisies
Amidst the cool grasses
Of a wakening meadow
Along the dunes on the beach
Betwixt the waves
Crashing on the shore
Encompassed by leaves
Strewn across the ground
In no particular way
In the obvious places
You presume to find
A wandering spirit
I will not be there
Instead look within and find
A life otherwise uncommon
With its own rhythm
A heart’s journey
It is there you may find
Who you are seeking
It is there you will
Find me lost

A beautiful poem to accompany an Arthur Rackham illustration (I think)

Hi Derrick. I searched Rackham’s extensive artwork but failed to find this among his. If you find it please let me know so I can credit accordingly. Thank you!
