Before you read my next poem, (Dont worry Calista, I havent forgotten about you!) I gotta give it up to Sarah McLachlan, one of my greatest inspirations in writing. I love this song...it helped me write the words of the forthcoming poem you see below. Click the link above to hear the song.


She has a great voice and is a great lyricist, ya heard? One of the most insightful, contemplative and creative artists ever!



Sarah McLachlan "Lost"


By the shadows of the night I go
I moved away from the crowded room
That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret
They don't know how to feel, they don't know what is lost

Lost in the darkness of a land
Where all the hope that's offered is
Memories of being taken by the hand
And we are led into the sun
But I don't have a hold on what is real
Though we can only try
What is there to give or to believe

I want it all to go away I want to be alone
Sympathy's wasted on my hollow shell
I feel there's nothing left to fight for
No reason for a cause
And I can't hear your voice and I can't feel you near

Lost in the darkness of a land
Where all the hope that's offered is
Memories of being taken by the hand
And we are led into the sun
But I don't have a hold on what is real
Though we can only try
What is there to give or to believe

I wanted a change knowing all I could do was try
I was looking for someone...
