What is it that I’m searching for
Will I unearth the hidden door
That leads to God’s exotic place
Wherein one finds His secret space ?
Thus live my life without the pain
Of losing those I love again
Seek help from God high on His perch
Beg Him to aid me in my search !
Well there it is, seems miles away
I’m not sure that I want to stay
It’s too much trouble to keep track
I’d like to have my courage back.
My life is slipping from my hand
I’ve lost control, I lack command
It seems there’s no one left to hear
Solutions have become unclear.
My world grows smaller day by day
I pray and hope I’ll find my way !
There is a road that leads somewhere
But I don’t know if I’ll get there
Its pathway is so long and bleak
Yet will it hold the aim I seek ?
I cannot find a moment’s rest
Seems life is just one endless quest
As on and on this weary trail
I struggle but to no avail !
A force now rises in the east
To calm the anger of the beast
The winds of change will power divest
And merit fortune in its quest
The time has come, the hour is near
To charm the crowd and vanquish fear !
In the world each tomorrow brings
I hear the songs the siren sings
It calls my name both loud and clear
What is it that I have to fear ?
Perhaps twill be that I won’t know
The path to take or way to go
Or rather that I may not feel
That all of this is true or real ?
The world I sight with my own eyes
Is full of doubt and much surprise
It’s power is consuming me
Somehow I’m sure I am not free !
Is this the place where God abides
Above that space the rainbow hides
Where stars and comets fill the sky
As fragile earth bids each goodbye ?
I looked out o’er the rooftops nigh
And spied a shining star on high
It shone so bright the whole night through
And challenged all the lore I knew.
If I had been so ever smart
It might have quelled an anxious heart
But as it is I question why
This star above is in my sky ?
Perhaps the Lord wants us to know
This universe does grow and grow
Thus pose to us this mystery
What else is there for us to see ?
There’s a faerie house shining so fragile and bright
Like a beacon that guides the forgotten at night,
Upon each branch of each tree whether fir or pine
Are glistening sights that choose to sparkle or shine,
In the ice laden limb of each lacy bent tree
There’s a crystal palace that I’m able to see.
When I was a small child what I’d give to live there
Free from this world with all its pain waste and despair
But now that I’m grown and my lessons are all learned
I’ll pray that I find the peace I think I have earned !
The swiftly graying darkly coursing sky
Does play upon my fickle inner eye
And bares a mystery both stark and bold
That speaks to me of long lost dreams untold.
These dreams I thought had flown so far away.
Yet seeming near, had somehow lost their way.
Some fringed and faded shadows left behind
Shedding aged reflection as they unwind
What had once been I recognised anew
And purpose wrought with aim and course so true.
The passion in my heart that won’t decline
A hungry yearning that I can’t define
The dreaming in my mind that cannot fade
A hard decision that I have not made
The longing in my soul that will not wane
A quest for meaning that I’ve failed to gain.
And there among the past that wastes away
Find sad remains of yet another day
One unknown force that placed the founding stone
Has willed this legacy to us alone.
There in the night with truth possessed and sown
Who by their fruits at last shall they be known.
