lost coin

author's note: this acrostic was inspired by a parable in the Bible and a sermon that i heard last night. the scripture reference is Luke 15: 8-9.

LOST COIN

Lately life lazily lingers
Oppressive and overwhelming.
Seemingly something substantial
Tarries tantalizingly out of reach.

Cautiously and carefully with
One objective
I sweep and search for the
Nature and essence of the virtues I’ve lost.
