Time

Step through time
drifting back among
the ruins that line my memory
snippets and portraits pass
through the corridors..
a child wanders, lost
in the maze that surrounds her
wondering where
she stepped off the path
and why no one noticed.

Searching for the hand
to guide her
to show her the light
to show her the way out…
the way back to herself
because now she is grown
but still wanders
wondering if anyone
will ever take her home…
