Susan Gentry Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Lost

Lost in universal wonders...
pondering celestial bodies,
souls I have known...

Lost in firmament vastness...
pondering heavenly ideals,
blessings I have been given...

Lost in the pinion of liberosis...
pondering the concept of freedom,
opportunities I never took...

Lost in the throes of onism...
pondering my humanism,
choices I have made...

Lost in expressions of love...
pondering lissome words,
poems I have written and read...

Lost in continual noisiness...
pondering a sojourn of sorts
taking the time for repose...

Lost in voices of reason...
pondering wisdom and truth
praying to never besmirch them...
