Getting Lost

People can get lost in strange surroundings,
going round and round in circles until
someone rescues them or they can find their
way out of the maze. Dreams can get lost, too,
in space and time, the circumstances that
oppose them piling up and choking out
ideas, anticipation, plans. You have to stop
and rest, if you are lost. Get your bearings.
Take a drink of water. Smell the air and
watch the eagle flying overhead, who sees
that just beyond the bend is someone who
will take you all the way to safety. When
dreams are lost, the same applies. An eagle
flies above them, too, and rides the currents
without effort waiting for the timing to be
right. (The eagle, by the way, is you.)
