Lost and Found

mm poster step out

As time passes by there are things that come in and out of our lives.

So let’s look to what it is.


And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud

became more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

    LOST

    Lost yet found
    Are waz it
    Lost it first place
    My youth just where
    Did it go
    Just yesterday
    I waz but young and pretty
    Remember every thing
    Waz to remember
    Now cant hardly
    Remember me own name
    Let a long
    The next day
    People say
    I look younger
    Than I seem
    But
    Grey hair
    I do see every day
    Leg gittin smaller the more I walk
    As time passes by
    I wonder what
    Will tomorrow bring
    Lost yet found
    Sum times
    Me think
    I have lost me mind
    Then it comes back to me
    Oh I remember
    That where I was
    And what I waz doing
    Ask me today
    I know things well
    Ask me later
    Have ta sleep on it
    Then come back
    Oh yeah
    That what it be
    Lost and found waz it
    And is it just time playin tricks on me
    No I think not
    It waz and
    Is lost
    Never to be found again

    As two parts A & B 😆 Blog has my thinking going or it is that it is gone giggle

    People come in and out of our lives
    Yet,once heart is touched never gone
    They are within for better, for worst
    Then too material things come and go
    For when times get hard we have to show ‘
    Hoping one will buy and we will grow
    Even when departing as in a divorce we have to give things up no longer ours to hold
    Just like the marriage that went wrong becomes old

    In a tight bud unable to blossom
    Staying for the child when we realize later caused a dark cloud
    For all the scars when the children hear the lightning coming from the room loud
    Thinking they do not know they know more than you do as a child
    As the pain became more painful unable to think of blooming
    So, much has happened and taken life as the nutrients in the soil poor unable to plant anymore
    Now, know should had blossom for it kept the little one from being able to blossom as well
    When hurting , afraid not thinking straight making excuses
    No excuse for and no future when you are not planting with a healthy soil for all to fully bloom

    We Come Around

    Lost and disconnected, life circled around.
    In raw desire scant fulfillment was found.
    To inappropriate ideals perhaps we were bound.
    Day-to-day need drove us on shakier ground.

    Before time destroys us, it mellows us some.
    Through this stormy voyage we will bravely come.
    And lucky survivors of this fated ride –
    finding calmer legacy on the good other side.

    It seems un-examination sums up florid youth.
    A sudden awakening lets in partial truth.
    Begins a life of sitting and analyzing as we go.
    Maybe final wisdom is knowing that we don’t know.

    We lucky survivors came through undestroyed,
    in summation asserting this life was enjoyed.
    Positioned in a world we made by need sound,
    living with personal truths that we have found.

    Re-posting…had a typo (‘sitting’ instead of ‘sifting’)which changed the meaning of the poem…

    I’ve been lost so many times to only find a pinch of sun light.
    I’ve been down so low only to find away to standing up right.
    I have crawled, and clawed crying till morning light only to find clarity in the night.

    I bleed tears only to find the fears.
    I find the words to tell only to find my world as turned into a big deal.
    I feel ill.
    This cruel life is so real.

    I fall a sleep just to find awakening seeds in my dreams.
    In stead I hear my tormented screams.
    In these slithering moments of time that matter I’m left here finding the past minutes of battered.
    And my dreams become scattered.

    My mind has a story of a life going so wrong.
    I hear the beating of my lost soul in so many sad songs.
    This life has been so maliciously long only to find out how my spirit hangs on.

    The past , present and future seems like the same.
    All going in circle going insane.
    There is nothing to blame.
    My life just is, broken hearted lame.

    I hear the echoes in my head.
    A girl of the walking dead.
    A life I carry in dread.
    There is no ending to this retched pain.
    Just me and every minute of a past that remains.

    The rain is here today in my heart.
    I found the pain that tares me apart.
    I’m left here wondering where I go from here.
    I’m feeling all my fears.
    And feeling all theses seeded tears.
    I’m lost but found in this now.
    Heaven only knows how my heart keeps beating and keeps repeating .

    ~The Wall~
    Why let a wall down when all it do is getting hurt.I’ve been let down so many times.As I lay here fading my thoughts are invaded by memories of my past I feel the pressures of shame and rejection building as I sit here.I have no strength to go on fell like giving up it not worth it any more.When its all gone,do you scream.When the pains too much, do you cry.All these things I feel, but cannot let out.Why can’t I feel the pain any more. Now my soul pour out with sorrow.Now that I’m lonely again the only thing left to comfort me is my tourchered forgotten soul.No one simpathizes anymore. Greed and not looking in peoples souls to see what they really like. My love was pure and as sweet as the spices.
    There been so much heartache in my life. People come mark your heart and leave. and you wonder who hurting who and no one understands the others heart ack one goes through when they come for awhile scares it then leave.No one knows what they see till there life come crumbling down.Life do go on but no one knows what it feels like till it happen to them.Do anyone really get to know someone.After you been betrayed so many times it’s hard to figure what you want or feel in your heart. I want you see and know the heartache of just one’s soul when love was ripped wright from there soul.And never want anyone go through this feeling in there life.So you build a wall and protect your heart and learn to deal with who ever comes in your life and make sure it don’t get your heart ripped wright from you…

    STEP BY STEP FOUND

    Layer by layer
    and step by step
    I’m peeling them away,
    the walls I’ve constructed
    around this heart of mine.
    Layer by layer
    I’m tossing them aside
    and living within these moments,
    treasured gems of time.

    I’m leaving everything else behind,
    that extra baggage
    that weighs me down,
    so many things
    that simply cloud my view,
    that keep me from enjoying
    that view outside
    and just beyond my door
    that I’ve been too busy to open
    to inhale the fresh air.

    So I now take that step
    into the freedom of life
    once outside my view
    and my reach,
    a view I thought I’d lost,
    but have found again
    just beyond my door
    as I once again
    take that step
    outside.
