Lost Lament
Lost and drifting in time
He gives the hourglass one last turn
It's been months that his mind has been traveling
In a world continuously unraveling
His journal a labyrinth of secrets that only he would know
Dreams his escape; from nothing but reality
distant memories of better times
a lovers lament; a gilded page
but all joy drowned out
when the morning lights rose
Such a life without joy
sent his sorrows to flow
onto the journal and through his pen
to the end of his sorrow
His hourglass emptied
His mind completely lost
in relentless waves of depression
scattered in different expanses of the world
but the waves settled
and his ink dripped
his mind reconnected
and joy was what he found
prayers through cracked lips
thankful for being saved
forgiveness seemed mutual as he heard the music lift
Now happy, each day he would rise
to look anew on the journals last unfinished page
he remembers not the dreary, hopeless, days
but the sound of music that led him to see
no one is forsaken that their fortune cannot turn
and so he blessed the last unfinished page
for it was the day his sorrow turned to joy
with passions that flow,
from his heart onto his page
