My mind goes a far distance
seemingly to the thoughts
not even still, but rational
reality, and able to cease
furthermore the emotions
of darkness and sin with
such small light I find.
Upon me is a cloud-
confusion, heartbreak, and doubt
asking myself in this valley
where is light.
Why has my lamp been empty?
Who is the blame?
The hands who created this vision-
or should it be the visionary-
or will it be the reality that reveals?

See, I know there is something there-
something bright-
like a legacy-
but it is missing its pieces.
The puzzle of life-
unceasingly leaves my hands empty.
What a dark road-
closed and dead-ends
meet no bound
the entry of endless source.
The bumps are repetitive-
only suggestions-
distance
I go further away-
not understanding-
the same pain I feel;
I know there is someone
else who travels this same road.

I cling to a past-
struggles
sound advice-
must have missed a turn.
Did I say thief-
How much in my life
can one take from me?
What I lost in the dark
does not come back.
Must leave this behind-
here comes another
bump in the road-
what will I lose, now?

I must make a right turn!
the more light
the further the distance.
I will travel the road
less traveled.
The uncertainty
shines new hope
to a new day!
So, the darkness
dawns on me-
I am glad to hold
hands with the angel of light-
he will carry through
twists and turns.

Notice-
I took the same road-
I had to deal
with its source and fears.
There is no distance-
this road was less traveled.
The road of experience-
wisdom, understanding-
distance in which I began.

Notice-
the road no other
travels.
The road leads to distance-
and then....
the road to victory.
The one to carry me-
the same hell-
loss of love-
yet, found me strangling
along a fence.

What road of life
were you traveling?
What truths did you see?
Take my hand,
and get off the dark side.
I see ahead
a promising scenery
of open field-
field of mercy
forgiveness
understanding-
most of all...
love brings hope in
ALL ways...always!

I am heading
to the promise land-
do you follow?
