We Get Lost

When you are lost

No courage you find

When exploring the corners

Inside your mind

Turn to your heart

And you will see

The greatness inside

Of you and me

For inside the heart

There lies a seed

When watered and fed

Fills every need

It conquers fears

It tempers hate

It keeps one from becoming

Angry..Irate!

It reminds you that love

No matter its’ strength

Can bring joy, can bring peace

To your empty plate

And when the stars

They seem to hide

It makes your arms

Open wide

To grasp the stillness

Of the night

Brings its’ own form of peace

In silent flight

No need to feel lost

When the heart is near

Just hold it close

And conquer your fear
