Have you
ever been lost in thought, and not realized how much time has passed? In a
short poem entitled “The Meadow” the author writes about being lost in thought
searching for someone.
In lines seven, eight, and nine the
author writes “Where did I go, how long was I out looking for you?” The author
doesn’t state who he or she is looking for, but I believe it may be a loved
one. The author also states that they believe that person would never leave
them. The author is confused as to where this person has gone to.
I’ve have been lost in thought
before. Most times it is when I think of my life what I’ve been through, and
what else is to come. When the author states “Where did I go, how long was I
out looking for you” I relate to that. I could sit down and start to think when
I look at the clock again so much time has already passed. The author also
writes about not knowing what they are searching for. When I sit down to think
I don’t realize what I’m doing questions and thoughts just appear.
Searching for someone is not easy.
Most times I don’t even realize that I am. It’s just thoughts that flow through
your mind. Most of my thoughts are deep thoughts that I don’t tend to share with
others. Just sitting at home or in the car going somewhere all of these questions
appear. Some could be about the past and what I could have done differently,
and some are about the future that I’m looking forward to.
