LOST, UNEXPECTEDLY.

I wasn't always lost.

One day it happened, unexpectedly.

That I didn't remember I was found.

Until I did.

I ran free. Immersed with nature.

Knee deep in mud. Worms on shoulders like friends.

Questions flooding through my mind like a tidal wave with no destination.

The world I lived in, magical & so very real.

Once I emerged from it, there was a little hope for it to follow into the world that men had made, with its chains, concrete blocks & opposite rules.

The crush of the human spirit. Is what now leads the people. Fear is bottled & sold cheaply to be consumed as if it were water & without it would die.

And each & every day I choose love over fear, a conscious choice. A battle that has got easier in some ways and became more difficult in others - as I watch the ones I love sit in fear, knowing or not, and be lost as to how to escape or how to do anything because what is lost is the very thing that needed to be set free.

"They" destroy all the things we need. Idiotically.

With no thought of a future. "Their" greed guiding egos, like giants, with a hunger for riches with no nourishment. "They" are fed but are never fully satisfied.

And as these empty holes called humans ravish the land and zombify the people - I despair and try with all my might to hold onto my deepest memories of the time when I was free as so was the earth and all its creatures.

With all my might, I seek out the courage within me to find the creative thread that will bring back the colour and release the chains. Clear the smog and see the people free to be once more.

There’s more to this than meets the eye; you need to take your hand & hold your heart to readjust its rhythm, so it wakes your soul and clears your vision.
