Searching

Napowrimo poem Day 26

C S Lewis
found his world
through a wardrobe door
he found ectasy
on the lid of a biscuit tin
from Woolworths

Contented in cardigan and slippers
sherry rituals, toast and tea by the fire
puffing pipe in illuminating discussion
with brother Warnie
He found God
on the top of a double decker bus
in the High Street on his way to the shops

I have been searching all my life
behind the wardrobe in bookshelves
in the cupboard under the sink
upturning rocks on the ocean floor
And I still could not find it
So I gave up the search
And found peace
It was under my nose the whole time
