To Be Found Is To Be Lost

On this journey,
 I am lost. 

The roads are narrow; The hallways thin. 
As one foot plants itself ahead the other, the brown walls go on to fade. 

From the very dark moon of the iris
To the echoing emptiness of the chest.
I feel the warmth.
It flows…

And there 
I found purpose; 

`Why was I born? 
Who lifted me from the unconscious?
Who released me into this maze? `
.
.
. 
Nothing.  
Yet,
As the Brown whispers an absent echo in the ears
And the biting cold crackles - 
The soles scream; 
`Pitter. Patter`
In hopes of planting purpose for a spring.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
