For the “lost” person in all of us

The Lost

Everyone calls in
lost at times;
Ever wonder how
We find our way?

We all find routes
Through the wilderness
Of lies
And use the streetlights
To light the way.

At night the stars,
Our friends in the night,
Guide us to the brink of day.

In daylight,
Our friends the cars,
Take us through
The wreckage of dismay.

Still lost –
We look to our parents,
Look to our friends,
Look to our Gods
Through their ear they lend
The most exciting feel of life –
The insight of a friend.

Through the clouds above
And fog below,
We somehow navigate
The wilderness that is life
And stay afloat
Even in the darkets of nights
At sea.

I must say that someone asked for this but gave me nothing to go by so I just kind of dedicate it to anyone who feels lost. - JJ
