Lost Poem by Neena Change

Lost and alone
Traveling this obstacle course
Found you tripping and stumbling along a similar path
Offered you my hand to help you up
And for a moment we traveled together
Offering each other a hand when we'd fall

Now I am left alone
And you are off stumbling on your own
I see you in the distance and call out your name
You briefly look up but then you fade away

I often see flashes of light
But nothing ever seems as bright
As when you were there to take my hand
And I would help you stand
