Lost

There is a peaceful place near a quiet stream,

a place I\'d really like to see.

It calls my name, haunts my dreams,

a place where one can truly be

at peace with the world, completely free.

I just don\'t know where it is.

 

I long to find some place of joy

where meaning resolves life\'s disarray,

a place where laughter romps and plays,

good neighbors share, their glasses raise

to celebrate these halcyon days.

I just don\'t know where it is.

 

But perhaps it\'s not a place at all.

A darkness stalks these empty days,

taunts me through this wretched haze

where confusion lurks to claim its prey.

I\'ve lost my soul along the way.

And I just don\'t know where to find it.
