Analysis of Get Lost

Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)



Let your heart open wide,
Embrace the feeling.
Let the love flow,
Let it guide,
Let go.

Feel the passion.
Let your spirit take control.
Dance in the rain,
Go for a promenade,
Become whole.

Get lost
In the moment.
Swim in the ocean,
Feel the sand.
Embrace love
And its divine torment.
Surrender to it,
Take a stand.

A feeling
Worth embracing.
A journey.
Let yourself free,
Let it be amazing.
Life is worth living.
Get lost.

Joe Strickland

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…
