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

How quickly the days

Seem to pass by, until

I am lost as to where

They all went, disappearing

Right before my eyes

And I blink, to no avail, they

Do not come back, those

Precious people, the ones

I seem to forget, and yet

Always remember, when

It’s too late to do anything

About the lost minutes

Because I spent too many

Hours, waiting for that one

Moment, when time stops

But it doesn’t, does it?

And I forget that I shall

One day, cease to be

Still, I find time to wonder,

Where did the time go?

I died last night. Much like the wilted petals of an old bouquet of roses, I crumbled. My spirit lingered, then disappeared into the mist, and scattered my soul. Floating in limbo, I reached out, seeking those I remembered, and found myself lost, with those I had long since forgotten.

Born from yesterday

Here, biding my time

Lost in the present

The rhythm and rhyme

Looking to the future

With such trepidation

No wonder my past

Is my soul’s inspiration

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
