In the Books

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
