"Find us Lost" Once again the gray man walks thru chill and wintry skies. The earth sleeps on in shrouds of white which rest her emerald eyes. The stillness breeds a thoughtfulness more hurried seasons lack I find forgotten memories long lost in hidden cracks I see myself a younger man rebellious in his youth. Crashing through the solid doors obstructing me from truth. Quite early it occurred to me that I would never be a swollen mask of self contempt who sips his bitter tea. But time oft plays an evil game with hearts so free and pure I shunned the quest for silver coins which made life seem secure I grew complacent with myself, my soul I hardly missed. Until one day I heard within a subtle, serpents hisssss... I thought "My God" what's happened!! and beheld my blasphemy. I clearly saw that I'd become, what I hoped I'd never be. When I ponder those years lost to me, I see just what I've learned. Existence is a test for us, the answers must be earned. I travel quiet paths again. Realizing more the cost Following the others, will simply find us lost. Written March 22nd, 2002 © on Mar 21 2002 11:44 PM PST   0 • 13
