Are you lost my friend?
by Marja Blom
Are you lost my friend?
Are you lost?
Let the key of who you want to be
open the palace of your heart
open the palace of your heart
throw off the coat of pretending past
let the truth reveal what's real
Are you lost my friend?
Are you lost?
For the real you a gown was made
try it, it's awkwardness will fade
as the perfect fit will give
a sense of glee of being free
Are you lost my friend?
Are you lost?
The golden texture of your gown
throws light onto your well paved path
Make trust your buddy, trust me
that greatness is your destiny
that greatness is your destiny
A beautiful poem and equally beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteThis has such a sweetness to it Marja - loved it! What a loving message for a friend in need.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Marja,
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying your poetic efforts. This one really hits me in regards to thoughts I am having about turning 50, dealing with this new hip, my past, my future. I guess good poems should make us stop and think, so well done my friend! Rave on.
Aroha,
Robb
Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteI am not lost, follow me!
That's a great message. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe question he, are you lost, is so powerful Marja, it welcomes all that flows. How clever you are to use the key prompt in this way. When we lose our keys we may as well be lost.
ReplyDeleteLoved it...
