Lost

     Lost is a puzzle of stars
     that breathes like water
     and chews like stone.
     Alone is a reminder
     of how far your acceptance is
     from your understanding.
     Fear is a bird that believes itself
     into extinction.
     Desperation: the honest recognition
     of a false truth.
     Hope: seeing who you really are
     at your highest
     is who you will become.
     Grace: the refinement of a soul through time.
