Lost & Found

When I
Discovered her...
All tattered and torn
crouching down...
In the shadows

I was not afraid...
wanting only to help her some how
some way...
I knew this shadow and this pain
was not her destiny...

Obviously...
She had just taken a wrong turn somewhere.
She looked up at me
with almost familiar eyes...
Yet...clearly she needed me
Many others walked right by her
Never stopping... as if she wasn't there.

But I could not take my eyes off of her
As if she was waiting for me... to find her

Then finally I reach her and tell her to come with me
and she looks up and says...

"Finally... You have come for me...
I guess you haven't abandoned all your Hopes& Dreams then"
My Dreams,
My Hopes...
Or at least there embodiment...
I came to rescue her...
and ended up rescuing myself...
