Another writing challenge in the proverbial books (though I am still waiting for one to actually evolve into that published form). This adventure was more about getting lost, finding a way, then losing it again and eventually relinquishing all attachment to any bearings.
So I will wander this winter - deeper into the wood - for the trees are waiting
waiting for words
Again, you're gone
Off on a different path than mine
I'm left behind
Wondering if I should follow
You had to go
And, of course, it's always fine
I probably could catch up with you tomorrow
But is this what it feels like
To be growing apart?
When did I become the one
Who's always chasing your heart?
Now I turn around and find
I am lost in the woods
North is south, right is left
When you're gone
I'm the one who sees you home
But now I'm lost in the woods
And I don't know what path you are on
I'm lost in the woods
- Lost in the Woods
