Lost Wonder



Passing by the sea,
you remind me of 'me',
that kind, happy me
who I lost on the way.

That wonder in my eyes,
where did it go?
Searching for destiny,
where did I lose my soul?

The hands I got
were not from them,
Still, they come
To see the urn
To put the nail
On the dead,
Deep inside
"Like they care."
