Find Me, I Am Lost!

Find me. I am lost within a fleeting instant

I wasn’t going in, I swear I wasn’t

Not until I found you just a foot away

swimming with laughter

Find me. I am lost without a compass

no roots holding me along the bottom

no way to find the hanging strap

I am lost without a mossy crevice

Look for me again along the empty places

I wasn’t going in, I swear I wasn’t

I didn’t mean to get so far and never find a rudder or a raft 

I didn’t mean to go so far without my safety line

I wasn’t going in, but now I swear I would
