The Lost Verses

[Don Savant]

The Lost Verses

placed within the lost and found of life
thinking hard just to recover
at least a smidgen of
the beginnings of my journey

i cannot know how far i've come
if my starting point is erased
and it seems as if there's no point
in looking back

i remember sitting in this place
alone with my two best friends
scrapbooking my thoughts and
all the things that i wanted no one to know
but just had to tell somebody
to lift the burden from my heart

i sat there and chronicled it all
never worried about hurt feelings
because it was hurt feelings
that allowed me to express myself
and expose them to my pen and pad

those things i shared somehow escaped my clutches
and were never seen again
but i know they are there somewhere
hiding inside of me
afraid to be released again
to a world not understanding of
the pain that lies within then

if only i could recite one verse
it would be enough to know that
my poetry still lives
and it wasn't all written in vain

This came off the top of my head. Blue had me thinking about my old poetry that I lost and I wish I could get it back....Hope you enjoy.
