Standing in the 'lost child light'

entry picture

 

 

Woodland breathes all around

People move dance and sway

I stand in the lost child light.

Friends approach

‘Hey you ok?’

‘Yes’ I say

Just standing

All the while

In the lost child light.

Blessings be upon you,

 Suffer the little children . . .

 

The woodland ages slower than I

And grows stronger than I

Holds me close comforted because

I live in the 'lost child light'.

A little gem which I managed to miss till now. Must get better at blog-spotting. I'm back at Fell Foot, reading this lovely poem. Thank you.

I remember that moment - so you weren't quite lost! You stood wrapped in a blanket, looking like something out of Tsunami disaster photo. Amazing to think that I am now commenting on a poem about it...

I see you are in tune with nature and accept its prevalence. It is good if you can get comfort from something in life. x

Wow - this gives me goosebumps, I love the sense of being alone within the company and in the wood, and the reference to Jesus. Strong stuff Shoeless - love it
