Forgotten Lost

I'm a kaleidoscope of unwanted colors A maze of stars across the sky A hidden map that leads to nowhere And I’m okay with that For I know you Must be lost to be found And you must lose your way To find it again And I have forgotten But that simply means I will remember I am a love letter written backwards A dictionary questioning meaning A fire burning in the rain. I am a question Never asked Never answered For I don’t know How or when Or why I simply know I must and I won’t I am a wheel turning backwards A leaf flying in the air A flash flood on a July morning Something impossible Yet Plausible Some mystery Where no clue is Found. Cause I’m still lost Still impossible Still forgotten But like a rainstorm on the desert Like a lightning strike in the dirt Like footsteps in dust I will be found And impossibly Remembered.

The first line drew me in. I love the paradoxical images, Iris - your poem gives lots to think about and invites to be reread.

Thank you Agnes! I am glad you took notice of this poem. Kaleidoscope is one of my favorite words, so I used it in the first line.
