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.
