“Is There Ever Such A Thing as Lost?” by Mandy Austin Cook

Is there ever such a thing as lost?

we think as we look with limited eyes

only able to see a tiny puzzle piece

of the entire pieced-together radiance of the horizon.

 

nearsighted squinting without glasses

trying to navigate one’s way

if you go off of  what only yourself can see

then Lost will surely find you.

 

rather reach out with trust

knowing there is something beyond

your own tiny parcel

of what you’re calling

“understanding”

To comprehend is to realize

there is no understanding without guidance.

 

I still will squint to look for you

but i know you see the bigger picture

Lord thank you for being my glasses.

for I am glad there are things in this world

more vast

than my own small sliver of perspective.
