Lost and found

I'm lost
Even though the sun is shining upon my face
Knowing my shining worth is priceless
Yet I'm lost

I'm lost in this moment
Drowning in the waters of responsibility
The storm is outside me
But I'm still lost

I'm lost
The winds of change have swept
My landscape into recognizable dunes
My heart is steady
I'm still lost

I'm lost in this swinter day
Spring in winter
Weather not knowing the proper season
I'm lost without knowing why

I'm lost
Both with them and without them
Each raindrop nurturing a different seed
Still I'm lost within the downpour
Running down my face

The forecast ahead is confusing
Both sun, rain, wind and snow
Is predicted
All colors of the rainbow
I'm sheltered within
But outside
A wet burning flame in the wind
My voice both strong weak in sound
I'm lost
And I'm found

Hi Jennesis - from this write the silver lining shines brightly - I see it like this - even though you are lost but don't know why; at least you know that you know - how more disconcerting to not know (or maybe that would be a blessing - ignorance is bliss and all that).
I love poems like this with the layers and contradictions. Well done.!

[Jennesis]

Thanks Anto, it feels like life right now is full of contradictions and layers. I appreciate you reading!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think its all a manifestation of how we interpret things as poets. We are a rare breed, you know.

[Jennesis]

Thanks Kelly~ As writers we can see the world through our creative lenses, holding the contradicting perspectives at the same time.

The winds of change can blow all that you have come to know away in a heartbeat… I really enjoyed this poem.

[Jennesis]

Thank you Rock and Roll! we certainly can get knocked around by weathering the storms of our lives~

Indeed we can, that why we need to learn from the trees that you can bend without breaking.

i can be lost and found at the same time...wet burning flame in the rain...there is a large spectrum of feelings, just like seasons and we experience all of them...sometimes at the same moment, it is winter, spring summer and fall all at once.
and maybe being lost isn't all that bad...we will find our way sooner or later, and learn along the way.

[Jennesis]

Thank you Jacob, it's so interesting to be feeling two opposite things at once, I guess though that is our human nature. :)

This is a profound view of life.Yet it makes sense because we constantly learn about ourselves every day.

[Jennesis]

Thanks! I appreciate your thoughts.
