Lost

Lost in this gentle breeze,

The music plays gently, softly,

I’m appeased.

Forgetting the woes of yesterday,

Absolved from those of tomorrow.

Here's the strength I hope to garner 

As my fears are driven further, farther

Out of reach.

This melody takes me on a journey 

And I'm a willing captive.

Becoming one with my desires, 

United with my passions, 

Life is simplified and in that moment, 

Everything has purpose; 

Even pain has beauty. 

This feeling's indescribable!

Oh, the journey! 

The journey of discovery; 

The journey of recovery.

I remember who I was,

The things I used to love.

Those I thought were lost.

The passions I gave up.

As if the music Itself

Was sympathizing.

Then gently, slowly,

And oh so suddenly;

The illusion fades, 

And I’m here

All over again.
