Lost At Sea

We were on that nice boat just floating along laughing and dancing and singing a song Then I found myself looking out over the sea that giant mass has so humbled me No view on the horizon but earth and sky and waves that sparkle from the sun on high I swim a bit more and look all around I continue to pray that soon I'll be found.

Being lost at sea is a very scary situation when you really stop and think about it, so indeed, I agree with Darren, happily you were found. And I really agree with Rick (WW) happy you didn't drown. :) Really good Lenna

Thank You Chris :) I know this poem doesn't bring beautiful images or sweet thoughts, but it is an unfortunate reality for some. But, I must confess, THIS has never been a reality for me ... only a fear of that massive humbling sea.

Hahaha, I saw the comment and reply below, and indeed! But you are found, how else could you have written these beautiful couplets?

Thank You Darren (psst, I've been lost and found a couple of times in this life so far, but "found" is the best part)

I'm so glad that this didn't finish with drowned! Lovely couplets, Lenna! I'm so glad we have found you at least!

That is sweet of you to say my friend, THANK YOU :) !! haha, no I didn't even think of using drowned, only of being found. I guess I could have written - I hope I am found before I am drowned, lol ... nah
