Another Lost...

Something else
has come
and gone
-a love
-a like
-a not-too-long

 It was all too soon
or just too fast
or not enough
or couldn't last

Like so much else
so many others
all alone or with anothers
left to leaving, wandering on
to see what's left
of all that's gone
as...

Something else
has come
and gone


Search again until the find
the song, the sound, the... (nevermind)
then sing it out, sing-along
until together voices
no longer belong
as...

Something else
to come
moves on

What was it then
that is not now
Whatever happened
and why
and how
Try to answer
but only sigh
(and how)
as...

Something else
that's come
has gone
-a love
-a like
-a not-too-long
leaving another lost
to just move on

at a loss for words
lost from meaning
or at a loss for words
awake but dreaming
finding for now
arriving and leaving
holding so tightly
then letting go
and screaming
as...

Something else
will come
and go
another lost
another searching
another finding
or just rehearsing

At a loss right now
wondering what is gained
or what is gone
or in a name
Try to lose this
sense of loss
To find more affirming
living thoughts
and soon enough
it will be clear
as...


Something else
that came
and went
another lost
another lament
another search
to be content
