. . . in the lost
By: One yet seeking
Somewhere in the lost it fell
as time slipped endless on
Unnoticed as it softly died
between the dusk and dawn
Somewhere in the time between
what is or will or was
When careless we turned blind away
from everything but us
Somewhere lay it dying
as we laughed along our way
Apathetic to the future
in our conquest of the day
Somewhere it defined us
in a past once long ago
Forgotten midst the memories
we're too ashamed to know
Somewhere it was everything
now everywhere it's naught
We know not what is missing
for what's missing isn't sought
Somewhere, somehow, we missed it
and its too late to return
For our presents built of fading past
we still refuse to learn
Somewhere in the lost it fell
and somewhere lies it still
Somewhere it may rise again,
for us, it never will.
