Lost

Today I slid into a world

Of haste, want and muddy desires

and a precious memory

Of friendship, laughter and tears

Was lost today.

Today on this crowded road

Of heat, pain and fear

I walk and foray

Into the remains of my life

And pray.

Pray for peace

Of mind, heart and soul

Where I can rest and lay

In the quiet arms of happiness

And sleep away.

Away from the eyes

Of sympathy, sentiment and emotion

Where I can sway

In the glory of wisdom and light

And play.

Play in the abode

Of togetherness, love and joy

Where I can come and say

Words that may mean nothing to you

But light up my day.

Days turn into years

Of yearning, wait and hope

Someday time will turn and stay

At a place where I hold hands with life

And walk away.
