Boxes,
Buckets,
And treasure chests
Of dreams;

Lost
As we’ve grown up
Lost,
As we’ve forgotten.

Sunken ships,
Skeletons of cities,
And reports of broken
And abandoned
Dreams;

Lost,
As lives are cut short
Lost,
As lives are lost.

Found,
Only as we find ourselves.

© Alexis R., Clarkdale, AZ

The author's comments:
So many people lose track of who or what they once might of loved, sometimes that's out of our control and sometimes it's not. I'm all about creating yourself and if you ever misstep find yourself.
