Lost souls


9.17.2016
For Patrick

Lost souls
Looking 
Far past their sight
In search of
Victory
In their life
Not easily seen
More difficult
To find
These victories
Dance at their feet
Float above their heads 
Whisper in their ear
Even wet
On their lips 
But lost souls
Blind to light
Deaf to song
Their touch
Only feels cold
Bitter their taste and smell
Those lost
Their souls meandering
'Round this world
Have no destination 
No sense 
Of the journey 
Stumble over stones
Not quite there 
Gasp for air
Gulp water 
Still thirst 
Wind
Always against them
Sun
Too bright on eyes 
Burns
These souls
Search 
For what 
They'll not find 
'Less they will take the hand
Of a friend
