Always wondering what lies over
The horizon
Around the corner
On the other side
Always climbing
Peeking
On scuffed up
Knees
And dirty hands
Always getting lost
Looking
Finding
I am right where
I am meant to be
Always wondering what lies over
The horizon
Around the corner
On the other side
Always climbing
Peeking
On scuffed up
Knees
And dirty hands
Always getting lost
Looking
Finding
I am right where
I am meant to be
I get lost in the words
In the conversations
I do not know these games
These twisted
Ways
I do not know how long
I was staring at the wall
I do not know where my mind went
Maybe i will find it some day
Maybe not
I am quite content
With it coming and going as it
Wishes
What a romantic whim,
To welcome me into your
Dreams.
To take me dancing amongst your stars.
I have never felt such pleasure
In being swept away.
Every sense in me
Lost in you.
I have been the waves that carried you home
When you were lost at sea.
I was the the rain that fell upon your
Weary head
And
Quenched your thirst.
I have been the desert that left you dry and helplessly
Crawling;
The oasis in the sand.
I was the sky that held you up so long ago
And the stars you have wished upon.
But
In this life;
I am the arms that hold you.
Yes,
My heart has always held you.
Not long ago I got lost in an Italian town.
(Honestly I have been lost more than once this lifetime)
Looming stone walls.
Narrow walk ways.
Monks conversing
And
Children playing ball
On the cobblestone.
My heart began thumping
And my mind was a whirl.
I paused to retrieve my map
And realized
I left it with my bicycle.
My phone was dead.
(of course I remembered all of my camera gear
but I did forget to eat)
So caught up in the
Minute details;
My own world as i wondered and
wandered
That
I lost time;
I lost my way.
I then looked to the sky and caught my breath.
What a beautiful place to be lost and well.
I continued on my way then.
Wandering in no hurry
Until
I found myself back with my bike.
We were two sinking ships
Who could not quite
Reach each other in the squall.
Too
Overwhelmed and lost;
Arms too weakened to hold
Anyone but ourselves
Above the crashing waves.
Oh how I loved you.
And the crashing thunder
Roared pitilessly
Drowning out the sound
Of my breaking heart
As I,
Myself drowning,
Helplessly watched
You drift out of
Sight.
How can I be lost
When I am right here.
I touch my lips.
Lost.
Yet I have not left.
I speak.
I hear my voice
Yet
Ears do not stop and hear
Nor tongues reply.
I am
Yet
I am not.
Yes I have an affinity
For
Rainbows
And
Getting lost.
Kind words and lip gloss.
Singing in the rain
And record players.
Wind in my hair
And
Silence.
Dancing by myself and stranger’s grins.
Sand in my toes
And the smell of mountain air
On my skin.
So many little things that go so far.
Yes they make me smile.
You see
These little things save me
From myself.
I want to get lost for good.
I want to become
Completely undone
With
You.
I’m unraveling myself.
The
Pieces
In knots.
I got wound up so tight,
So confused.
So lost,
That I let slip from my memory
How to read
A
Clock.
