Lost

Face the void

A chant of conversation, echoing a universal mind
places and circumstances transcending
a secret smile, revealing ultimate satisfaction
seconds washing away in joy

when the moment's gone
faces never the same as before
it's like missing home
even when home, you feel lost

you get busy in the routine
in the disguise of work and play
trapped within a reward system
time crawls slowly into nights and days

some days, you get away
you try to escape
when you could get alone, you get lost.
