LOST IN BETWEEN
poem

LOST IN BETWEEN

I'm here in between the past and the future,

Yesterday, calling my name,

And to-morrow waiting somewhere beyond,

While I remain caught in the middle.


I've walked roads I can't go back from,

But I am afraid of the roads that I have never walked.

My feet take off running on,

Yet, my heart is still searching.


I am lost in between,

In my memory and my future,

In the space in between dreams that won't die

And dreads which will not depart.


Sometimes I smile, as if everything's alright,

While questions quietly fill my mind.

I have hopes in my heart,

But this doubt goes with me.


I wonder if I'm going too slow,

Walking slowly and at my own speed.

So I wonder if the closed doors are endings

Or arrows directing me to some new place.


Perhaps being lost is not being forgotten;

Maybe it's as a result of getting older.

Perhaps this is why there is silence,

And wait I must, my soul is forming.


So I will continue to walk,

Despite uncertainty of the route ahead.

I'm not sure where to go,

But I don't want to cease to believe.


I will know one day

Why I had to go into the in-between,

And find out that I never really lost...

I was just going home.
