Lost


What do I do when I realize
I'm on the wrong path?

Do I turn and retrace my steps?
Do I study a map to find my way back?
Do I ask directions of those I meet?
Do I continue on my wayward way?
Do I sit motionless in the middle of the trail?

There is always a right way forward
no matter how lost I become.

  2. Evaporation

    If there is no one to call
    you from your shell,
    how will you know
    you are found?

    Only the lost stay
    lost, unable to answer
    for themselves or
    anyone else.

    To be truly here,
    somebody else must
    need to see you
    on the threshold.

    And if you are here,
    then you are not
    among the lost
    no matter how you feel.

  3. Thanks, Dr. M.

    Rizal: As I believe the Prophet said, there are as many paths to Allah as souls on earth, or something to that effect.

    Thank you both for reading.
