Lost and Found

Spoken Poetry / Originally written in November 2021

I don’t trust you

I wanted to

But you lost me

I wanted to

Because it felt safe

It felt less alone

You lost me

I lost the plot

That meant a lot

I wanted to listen

you asked me to speak

I wanted to speak

You asked me to listen

But all I could hear

I realized

We’re just lies

You never wanted me to speak nor listen

In the first place

Only to believe

To believe your story

To obey

To buy in

You lost me

I lost myself too

No one to trust

I got defensive

Lost and aggressive

I wanted to be strong

Not to be wrong

I said I will do it alone

Ahah, not possible

I lied to myself too

Claimed to be a victim

Chose to play the game

Not the money game

Not the fame game

The other game

Hide and seek

Mostly hide

Yet enough seeking

To find something

A new path

That led somewhere else

I was still lost but there was action

Some direction

I walked

You talked

I walked my own talk

First you lost me, now I lost you

I don’t trust you but I trust me

I lost you but I found me

Lost and found

Simple

I know

That I don’t know

Anything

That I will never know

But I know just enough

I know me

And that is all

All I need to know

From here only I can speak

Not your truth

Not the holy truth

My truth

From here only I can listen…

And breathe…

And Love…

From here

What can I lose?

From here

What else can be found?


What Comes Next — The Sacred Paradox Series

This piece is the opening note in a larger unfolding—what I’m calling The Sacred Paradox.

It’s a series of transmissions, written from the tender edge where spiritual truth and human rawness meet. Where we can both scream and be still. Where the nervous system trembles, and yet, some part of us knows everything is already whole.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing six pieces—poetic, reflective, sometimes spoken, always real. They’ll follow the trail of this paradox, not to resolve it, but to live it more fully.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:

1. Walking Barefoot into Uncertainty — trust when nothing feels safe

2. Voice Unleashed, Heart Untouched — how to speak from fire without burning out

3. The Perfection of the Storm — letting chaos belong

4. Sitting with the Monster — being with fear instead of fixing it

5. The Transmission of Paradox — truth that can’t be taught, only felt

6. Sacred Rage, Sacred Stillness — how anger and peace can breathe in the same body

If any of these titles stir something in you—stay close.

You don’t have to sign up or chase. Just come as you are. I’ll be here
