LOST AND FOUND
Bob Devine
(c) 2005

Beaten and abused
this child was used
scarred like an old tire worn
shorn from truth

Somewhere along the line
I lost a piece of my heart
given away in the dark
to the demons of my fear

hidden in the night
floundering through
with the means to survive
but never live

restless as a cool breeze blowing through my hair
I dare to open
and cast my lot with a new trend
It was a Godsend

The universe opened up and swallowed me whole
took me in
gave me reasons to believe

Like an angel's wings
I lifted to the touch of other things
voices in the night
casting light upon the shadows of my soul
trying to take the broken shell and make it whole

but there's fear
that faithful companion who seldom lets go
gripping you when no one else would
giving you something to feel when there was nothing to believe

I grieve
a lost soul tortured in the moonlight
surrounded by love
but all alone

afraid to let it in
afraid to let it go
standing in the middle
a quandary for my soul

pulled apart
ripping me
shorn like an old tire worn

And then it fills me
taking what is left from the tear and binding me

Casting shadows aside
no longer wanting to hide
reaching for the voices
speaking of the light
illuminating the night

You are a child of the One
You are loved
You are worthy
There is a universal family
to which we all belong.

Welcome.
