Lost and Found
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
The Gospel of Thomas
When we lose
A soul
A pet
A home
A conviction
A moment arrives
To say
‘It has gone
I mourn
I am sad
I will move on.’
That is a moment
Of power
Of discovery
It is then
That instant
When you know
What is inside
Must be outside
Knowing and knowledge
Will greet you
To serve and save
If you lose
And do not shift
Remain
In the moment
Of sorrow
You risk
Losing yourself
