I got lost a little while
and never found my place in line
and sometimes wondering was good
and other times it made me freeze.
I found hope a little while
and couldn’t shake it’s rock-like stance
and when I lost myself out there
It felt even more lost because.
I traveled on and on and on and on
until I got right here
So let the sound within the fire
ring till I see clear.
Cold like winter’s bane
Lost out in the stillest void
Let us build a fire.
Yellow and black and worn back then
I burned you a bit on accident
You made a noise when I shook you round
And your felt antennae were always droopy.
You were a gift that I had got
And now I could not even say
Where you’ve gone just like the ghost
Who gave me life and gave me you.
Memories are hard to hold
but some are hard to lose
I wish that you were still with me
That I might just remember.
Remember that movie
I think you know the one
Where the dad
sends his son
away
out of love
So that he can
one day
be more
than he is.
Remember when the boy
asks his father,
“How will I find my way home?”
and his father
replied,
“Just follow your feet.”
Do you
remember?
I am lost.
I remember but…
How do you
follow your
feet?
How do I get home?
