Light through darkness
This road forks into many directions
Light feels like a distant memory as the heart feels chased by darkness
which way
Which way
The pain of yesterday the troubles of tomorrow
What's the best route how does the soul find healing
The north star is hidden by the clouds of dismay
Optimism has departed pessimism takes residents
The mind spins and churns wishing it could raise the white flag and find rest
Yet which of the felt enemy will respond to weakness
The enemy of the soul seeks after blood wants the heart to continue to decline
The deception has been seen, felt, known
Slavery to vanity must be escaped but where can this wayfarer find liberty
Is there a power, a source, a person
A solider, a captain
All the soul knows is the road of death
It needs to be taught the path of life
the steps taken have been without a guide
And yet somehow they have been guided
The body shakes form swimming in the sea of cold indifference
This pilgrim yearns for warmth
A fire to burn bright within the soul
where are all these desires coming from
Its easy to feel safe in old ways
But there is craving for a new path
The question is which road is it
As despair begins to settle in the heart a faint light flickers in the distance
What can it be why is it there the only way to know is to take the path that leads there
Yet the question remains
Will you take that one step
