Wandering, Not Lost

Drifting... Into my fantasies And daydreams Where you reside And eagerly wait for me; I'm wandering, not lost. Smiling... As I excavate Long-buried memories In the meadow of my mind Oh, the halcyon days of my youth! I'm wandering, not lost. Plunging... Immeasurably deep Into your captivating eyes; Entranced, Held captive. I'm wandering, not lost. Searching... Vast barren deserts of earth Days without end For xanadu For the meaning of life I'm wandering, not lost. Date written: 12/16/2021

Seek and ye shall find, and you weren't lost.... Truly appreciate this poem Edward. You have a wonderful way with words. (This was much better than a bunch of silly footles). Best wishes Wen
