Elaine Gonzales Poet Sonnet

Lost and Found

In a world of folly I was lost
Material yearnings caved in on me
Succumbed to a life worn out in the frost
Oblivious to what outcome may be

Blinded by emotions that felt quite right
Yet something seemed missing inside
The pathway appeared sank from sight
In my heart, emptiness slowly reside

It took some time before I awaken
Looking round to find a familiar face
There He stood, never was I forsaken
Upon me, a strange quietude He placed

In search of direction, my spirit roam 
With you my Lord, I found back my home

Oliver Mckeithan April 21, 2018 at 3:40 PM Very nice poem Elaine. It really spoke to me. My favorite book is Ecclesiastes which speaks to one lost in materialism and worldly cares. That is me. Thanks for a poem that made me look at myself. Oliver Elaine Gonzales April 22, 2018 at 7:08 PM Thank you so much Oliver! May the Lord continue to guide you. God bless :)
