Searching for Zooey (Poem)

Have you seen Zooey?
Its been a journey long time coming
Once upon a time I went through the Garden of Eden
and sailed across the Milky Way
I trekked through the Valley
and came to a fork in the road
There she stood like the white buffalo
I’ve hunted in my dreams
Zooey where you going?
Stop running away from me.

I’ve been searching in the midnight, For Zooey
For Zooey, been traveling through the midnight for Zooey, for Zooey
I’ve been searching in the midnight, For Zooey
For Zooey, been traveling through the midnight for Zooey, for Zooey

I’ve been walking through the snow where I came across a man
Who told me Zooey don’t live here anymore
he pointed to the midnight, and told me I may find her there
and I have searched for far too long and I close my eyes
and picture you were there all along
and you reach out to me
and Buddha comes down from the mountain top
and the Earth stops to see
That this is Zooey
and for that moment the
absence of light doesn’t bother me.

Been searching the midnight for Zooey.
