Lost in the woods

When I look back at the things I had

The things that now are gone

I was planting seeds of division

But the trees grew tall and strong

 

I used to see for miles around

But now the forest grows

Beneath the shade of branches

Are secrets no one knows

 

At first it was a place to hide

An oasis on barren lands

But holding on to a past that's gone

Was just leaving time on my hands

 

For years I must have wandered

Abandoning all that was good

I thought I knew my way out

But now I'm lost in the woods

Wow, I can't believe I got poem of the day! This made my night, I am honored. I want to thank all of the encouraging members on this site that kept me going when I wanted to give up.

This is probably one of my favorite poems I have written. I came to this site as a musician on hiatus looking for a creative outlet in life. This was the first poem where I felt as I wasn't a musician writing poems, but a poet. Thank you so much for your support and here's to many future works from myself and from all of you as well! :)
