And I was Lost
Mosquitoes silently flew over my head.
Crickets started making loud, continuous sounds.
A frog croaked in the distance.
And I was lost.
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
Have I lost my mind?
A squirrel scampered up a tree.
An old hooted close by.
A wolf howled loudly enough to give me the shakes.
And I was lost.
How did I get here?
Where can I go?
Who will find me?
My mind was dense with clouds.
The light in my head dimmed.
I couldn't remember my name.
And I was lost.
No more tomorrows.
No more yesterdays.
Just a present without hope.
And I was lost.
