Lost in Life's Lane

Walking down a wintry lane. Alone and empty, not crazy, nor sane.

Trudging onward, into the fog. Snow whirling and dancing. My mind is agog.

White on the ground, white in the air. White in the sky, it is white everywhere.

Which way is up. Which way down? Where is this sunshine, that is so renown.

Where is the warm air, I’ve heard all about? In frustration I scream, I stomp and I pout.

Roads in every direction, hilly and flat. Some go this way and some go that.

Air that seems to heavy, to leaden to breath. My lungs feel empty, for air they do grieve.

Winding along, this path we call life. Wishing for something, other than strife.

Cry out for an answer, stand listening there. Sob in your sorrow, moan in despair.

Reach to the sky, for help from above. Hope for understanding, pray for love.

Tears fall quickly, like an afternoon rain. No help do they offer, from anguish and pain.


I seek out an answer. I look everywhere. The answer is simple, it just isn’t there
