    Lost

     I open my eyes to morning mist
      reality swirls around in heavy fog
    unable to tell from where I've come
      fearful of any direction I may take

    Soon sunk into a bog of indecision
      the quagmire of uselesness sucks down
    pulling and sucking until all is paralyzed
      the urge to just go under overpowers

    Alone in the dark night of the soul
      any cry for help is strangled by
    fear of appearing weak, unbalanced, unable to
      carry one's own load in life

    Out from the mist, from the other side,
      a friendly voice encourages trying some more
    as a breath of fresh wind blows,  the fog clears, bog dries
      and the way I came and the way forward
    all makes sense now.

    That's so sweet. Thanks so much!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
