Lost and Found

I walked through the darkness

listening to the sounds of fear and confusion.

I hid deep in the woods

waiting for the light to find me.

It never came.

I found a well traveled path.

Did others find a way out?

I moved slowly with caution -

then I heard laughter and

bright lights were all around.

Why did I hide

so long?

I was safe now

with others who once were lost,

now found.
