Lost and Found
Wonder in the forest lost
Feel plants fear the killing frost
Gasp, not grasp the all-around
Browse the forest’s lost and found
Try to lose the monkey mind
You must lose before you find
Brother bear and sister tree
I art thou and thou art me
Moving slow is not enough
To lose the lie that all is stuff
Wonder just how small you be
Staring up that trunk of tree
Life is death. Death is birth
Worm return to Mother Earth
None is better none is worse
Each a blessing, both a curse
The truth comes close could I but wait
And yet the time is getting late
I see the clearing up ahead
Where all the living live as dead
Things to do-must take my leave
Return to walls- goals to achieve
Miles to go before I sleep
My bidding bye makes Jesus weep
He touches me with that one tear
I walk back in and disappear
You ask how long must I sit here?
It took Mahatma seven year
