An Ode to Those Lost
Lift your spirits
Even when they are heavy
One can only sail the seas
When the boat’s mast is steady
Keep looking forward
Even when you can only look to the past
Holding onto the numerous regrets
Only restrain you from being apart of the cast
Lend an ear not only to others
Even when deaf to your tongue
Listen to the soft humming of your dreams
A song that has already been sung
Open your eyes to see the world
Even when sight is consumed by bright screens
Perhaps seeing that not all trees touch the sky
It can lead you to other means
A radiant yet soft spring sun
A crisp breeze cradling your cheek
There will always be a path to travel
Everyone will reach their peak
So this is an ode to those lost
To remind that there is always something new
No matter the foliage that tangles
There will always be a place for you
