Of lost in thought

They say that when you are lost, you must remain where you are until someone finds you.
Stay still. Conserve your energy.
Trust that someone is looking for you.
But what if you are somewhere no one would ever look?
Lost in a quiet corner of yourself you have never shown the world?
In a place, where stillness feels less like wisdom and more like surrender.
What if the search party never gathers,
because your surrender has been mistaken for strength?
Because you have mastered the art of appearing found
while quietly disappearing inside?
Calling your own name into the dark
and walking toward the echo.

        You are welcome.
        Note, I tried to send a few of my subscribers a donation the other day and encounter a problem on the first attempt to you. I kept getting an error message using my US Card. I am thinking perhaps because it is not a Credit Card. Have to speak to my Bank about it, so I can get a few of my subscribers coffee. 🙂
        I’ll try another day and informed you when it goes through.

    “Because you have mastered the art of appear found while quietly disappearing inside.” A beautiful description of what depression can be like.

    What a lovely poem.
