Lost
When plans don't go as...well, planned.
I was there
I knew where I was
Then just like that
It was all gone
I had it all figured out
Had a plan for EVERYTHING
Not a soul could tell me differently
Then the lights went out and then I couldn’t see
The path had become altered
But why?
Why when I had it all figured out?
Should something get in the way and cause me to go somewhere different?
I wasn’t ready to travel this road!
I wasn’t ready to reach this point yet!
I wasn’t ready!! and now!!… I’m lost
Lost because now….
Now it’s out of my control
Now it’s not up to me
Now it’s up to the universe
The Gods
The Goddesses
My Angels and my ancestors.
But why? Surely they knew what I was doing?
Surely they knew I had a plan
Surely they knew…
And yet they did.
They showed me
that just because you see the lake
Just because you can see how big it is…
Doesn’t mean you can see it all….
You can only see so close
And you can only see so far.
That’s your life…and that’s mine
Just because we can see some of it
Doesn’t mean we control all of it
We will get lost….but we really aren’t
We are all right where we need to be
