Lost

Lost in the ocean.

The sun gently slides off the water’s edge.

Darkness dissipated by the moon.

The kayak undulates to the dolphin’s song.

Lost in a cave.

Inside, it’s the blackest black.

A new upper chamber. A blind salamander.

We crawl through the deep waters as the cave closes in.

Lost on a dead volcano’s mouth.

The expansive lava bed is dark and hard.

Two silhouettes. A fiery incantation rises!

The headlamps shine resolutely on our way that melted away.

Shall we get lost again?
