Lost and then Loved – Nia Bellopede Like a ship out to sea, caught in a storm Looking for a home and a place to dock. A lost child wondering how to conform Or a lion looking for their pride and rock. In the dead of winter when all is dark, Or spring when the rain hides any light of day, Or summer’s end when you lack any spark, And fall when all the flowers go away. Hopelessly wandering from place to place. Seemingly lost with no destination. Always searching for that beautiful face, And picturing that nameless creation. But then I found you, perfect face and all, And I couldn’t help but he then fall.
