A trace
Now forgotten
Simple memories lost
The pieces of a broken mind
Missing

There in the middle of perfect hedges
Sitting around the table, having tea
A family of three darling leprechauns
Conspired as to what next would be
Humans would gather later this month
To have a run through their walls of green
Of course, they would always get lost inside
And make the most unpleasant scene
Little kids crying, for mommy and daddy
Mom and Dad screaming for them to behave
Panic would set in, when they all realized
They were stuck, and would need to be saved
From the bushes, suddenly, closing in on them
And the paths disappearing from view
They heard the laughter of something unusual
And they knew not what they should do!
So, Mom, Dad and the kiddies kept walking
When, at last the middle, they came upon
They were no longer lost, though never were found
Tis what happens in the labyrinth of the leprechauns

Where once you were, you’re no longer there
I bet you thought, I wouldn’t care
But I do, you see, it’s important to me
The reason you felt, you had to flee
Did I forget to mention you?
Is this something I should do?
I hope one day, you’ll change your mind
When once again, my blog, you’ll find
Authors Note: This was a challenge from my dear friend, Michelle of Putting My Feet in the Dirt. She wrote a poem about losing a follower and two days later, I noticed I lost one, too, so I blamed her lol She dared me to write about it, so here it is, again. I thought it was worth a repeat. 🙂

Darkened thoughts invade my mind
Seeking ground they cannot find
Circling round in a boundless daze
I am the keeper of this maze
Trapped between these walls of stone
No longer flesh, now merely bone
Left alone, never to be found
Lost forever on these grounds
Who shall come and save my soul…
Who shall come and make me whole…

I suppose it should be easy
To find the answers that I seek
But things are always in my way
And the outlook’s rather bleak
To simplify my very thoughts
I get lost, in this big world
Waving flags to passersby
Not noticing it’s still furled
I know I’m not making any sense
Sad to say, at times I ramble
Wish there was a way to rectify
A life, that’s such a shambles
The Daily post: Simplify
