Lost Poem by Lynne RBC

Thinking, reflecting she can't seem to see
Stop, look and listen, the signs becoming blurry;
Her life now is what she wanted before
But the searching continues, she's wanting for more.


Silently, secretly she looks for the girl
Who lived life complacently, contented to be;
But hiding in the corner of her heart now is a woman
Now filled with confusion, wanting to be free.


The face shows happiness, yet the heart despair
the eyes are still looking but the soul is not there;
The mind is focused, but thoughts have faltered
The body is here, but the spirit has wandered.


The wheel has turned, fate has twisted
Options are given, a choice should be made;
Wanting to stay here, yearning to go
Hurting the lover, yet loving him so.


The clock is ticking, the hourglass has drained
Lost in the spectrum, lost in the maze
Living and loving in a safe place called home,
Or in love and alive in the great unknown?
