Lost In A Journey Poem by Jeri Martindale

I remember the first time I gazed into your beautiful eyes; I caught a glimpse of an exciting journey, that if I wished to go along, would lead me down a winding road filled with my greatest desires.

I also have forgotten, it has been so long since you and I exploded into each others arms reaching for the heavens as we played among the stars.

I long for your touch as the day goes by, yet so many other things fill our hearts and minds, leaving us both wandering through this life.

Will we one day be us again, walk with each other down the pier, smile at the wind touching our skin, as it pushes us closer to each other reminding us where it began?

Somewhere we lost ourselves in our journey, could we have been seeking for the end to soon; forgetting the small things as we wondered through? Falling farther away from each other, the days passing by slowly as we began to suffer.

Oh how we use to talk and laugh a loud with each other seeming as if our love would never be smothered. Walking hand and hand with each other, becoming a father, becoming a mother.

Smoke still arises from the bed of coals that was once a mighty fire. It is now time to rekindle the power that was once a brightly shinning beacon leading us along, but now seems lost immersed in fog.
