Lost and Found
Encircled by flames,
nearly burning in the heat,
truth lies dormant,
refusing to touch the fire.
In a maze of lies,
the answer hides.
Only in a burst of lightning,
can you begin to see.
Clouded by false light
and shrouded in fears,
so deeply is the secret hidden
amidst the chaos.
Lost and dazed,
your fingertips grace the flames
full of dark emotion,
hate, anger, jealousy, lust.
Reflexively,
you draw your hand away,
but now you can see,
now you know.
With a touch of the darkness,
you are able to sense the light,
quickly you run,
to find the solution to this night.
