Lost and Found

Shattered glass and broken wings,

Empty glasses and a dark sky

Things went missing or was it just me?

A placid face, trying to hide a lie

Forgotten dreams, hurtful memories

Feelings, once so familiar and real

Places visited and havens marked

I find that now, they hold no appeal

Time flew by and days went by

Seasons changed from winters to springs,

Nothing seemed different, yet everything had changed 

Just with the flutter of a butterfly's wings 

Nothing mattered but the thirst within me,

To search for all that had been lost

The sound of a laughter, the scent of a perfume

The need to find them again, whatever the cost

The more I searched, the farther I got

From the only place I knew to be mine

I ran, and I went to the ends of the earth

And found a corner, where myself I would confine

I found nothing, but only lost myself

I looked down at the calm water so blue,

As I walked on the sand by the sea

But it would hold no reflection of mine,

That I already knew

But then the water caught some light,

And glowed like a big drop of dew

As I searched once again, for a cause,  

This time, I turned to find you

A new feeling was born within me,

As I stood still, looking at you 

And a forgotten,old one was found again

When your face broke into a smile, so true

Realization dawned as I turned again,

With you standing right by my side,

The water answered the question it had refused before,

Now it had nothing to hide

Because what is lost will always be found,

No matter how impossible it may seem

A note in a diary, a giggle and a feel

The love of someone special or a childhood dream

I just had to look deep within myself,

To find a missing heartbeat

I knew then, if things never get lost

Their destinies, they never will meet

The things happening in the past week and a book that I just finished reading- "A Place Called Here"- and totally loved and found the imagination behind it absolutely bizarre, influenced me a great deal into writing out this piece of 'poetry' for my post. 

I'll quote a few lines from the book just to give you the feel :

"We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes by forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our way out. But regardless, always, we are found."     

Hope you all liked it...:)
