Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

wonderful! thank you so much, dear one - warm hugs in all that you are going through with Lala and Jeff…
Oh my goodness, John! Spirit just said to me, bringing me to tears, “You are not lost. You have never been lost. You have never been lost…” And now coming to read this poem… It is an amazing synchronicty. We are not lost! To truly realize this! What a gift. Thank you and blessings today.
