Because I Became Lost

Happens so fast

Walking casually through a forest

A parting of brush and leaves

Inviting

With mystique

If a walk inside this path occurs

Everything left behind might disappear

That is if our soul decides upon that encounter

~

We can manage familiar scenes

Strolling along managed arteries

Sights we have enjoyed

Fresh vistas safely arousing passions

Yet choosing new grounds

Disconcerting to that normalcy

Way of life that speaks to a numbing

Sedentary lifestyle begs of calloused hands

~

Wondering about that loss

Was our continuity that special?

If departures bring upon our lives

New cathartic journeys

Perhaps then might we be at peace

Yet instead a fear

Will always arise if my surreal mind

Does battle with a fragile soul

~

Let the woods that beckon my frightened humanity

Allow my heart to seek anew a spiritually driven soul
