I Got Lost

I got lost On a country road I met a friend In a field she sowed. I saw a smile So innocent and real I discovered a life So quite and zeal. I felt the wind Kiss my cheek I learned a way That others speak. I saw simplicity Show a beautiful life I heard the hum From a busy wife. I took a deep breath Of country air I watched her work With a dedicated flair. I am a world Apart from her I value her friendship Like frankincense and myrrh. I took a moment To really see My brothers and sisters Are just like me. I got lost On a country road I found myself In a whole new world. © Deborah J. Herber 2023

This is a really good poem, Deborah. Getting out of one's bubble can be enlightening, as you have shown:)
