Will someone find this poem
Pressed within the margin of a book
Closed tightly and discarded in a
Brown cardboard box?
Will someone find this poem?
Scribbled lightly in white
Against a crowded bridge’s
Green paint overpass?
Will someone find this poem
That has escaped my grasp?
Will someone find this poem
Floating through the blue skies,
Its soft puffs of moisture
Spelling out against the sun?
Will someone find this poem
Wrapped in a wisp of your
Hair, turned white from
Years of waiting?
Will someone find this poem
Buried amongst secrets
And treasures
Of a distant sandy world?
Will someone find this poem
Hidden in the silent
Shadows
Of your words?

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
-- Omar Khayyam

How about moving all your question marks to the ends of your stanzas?
