once was lost
By: Halifax
the search party
once was lost
became twice
when once revisited
to form a habit

broken into two
altogether where
one had been once
in your wanderings
have you wondered
maybe the problem
in making your way
is you are a place

but never find
try this on for size
close your eyes
stand still a moment
imagine you are home
stay where you are
so the homecoming
can gather at last
