Lost

On this bridge, this unknown ground
I set my sights across
For what has brought me here I've found
All who wander here are lost
A steeping slope, a gaping chasm
Swallowing me whole, so wide
A depth so great I cannot fathom
So far to the other side
Criss-cross of footprints behind the way
That has led me to this empty place
Strewn of broken pieces I had gone astray
Tears trail the road and my face
Another dead end and I have met my fate
Another way with nowhere to go
Have I given up all I thought to make
To fail at the ending of this road?
Point of no return I have arrived
And my fear, I cannot ignore it
All the ways I would contrive
Fall apart, there's nothing for it
Forward, ever on ahead
Taking the pieces I have carried
Of who I am and will be yet
Not here, not ever have I tarried
On this bridge, this unknown ground
There is only way one across
And in crossing I have found
I am ever a seeker, I am not lost...
