36 Views of San Francisco: 36+9. Pro-lost, Pro-found
July 15, 2018

lose yourself on unfamiliar streets
turn off your apps and maps
lose yourself in coffee cups
lose yourself untrapped

lose yourself in concerts
get used to losing time
lose yourself bohemian, slothful
lose your daily grind

lose yourself in nature
lose yourself in trees
lose yourself in flowers
get blown by a breeze

rearrange your brain
in all the museums in town
get lost in the human mind
get lost in humankind

lose yourself in used bookstores
get lost in library shelves
pick out what calls
get lost in the greater self

let your heart be tugged
let yourself totally go
feel the love in the world
let kindness grow

lose yourself in someone’s smile
let’s all be lost in human joy
lose yourself in all the miles
you lose grinning ear to ear

lose your way in troubled places
let your ego be scarred
lose your way in painful ways
then lose your pain, your shame, your fear

lose yourself in listening
let someone lead your mind
meet them with your care
it’s the way the heart finds

hold on only
to what makes you you
keep finding more to you
than what you ever knew

lose yourself in the world
let her remind you of you
lose yourself in the world
find what’s deeply true

if you want to find yourself
get out of your sight
the world will rise to meet you
she’ll find you, inside
