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 !
Sometimes this world gets in the way
We come and go, yet cannot stay
Or find a path to keep us free
From all of life’s complexity.
I’ve often wondered just how long
We’re all expected to be strong
It takes some bit of grit to see
The pathway to eternity !
My morning thoughts are crystal clear
They help discern why I am here
How shall I know the path to take
To live my life void of mistake !
We love You Lord, and beg of You
Give each the strength to see life through,
This dearth of help that now may be
The darkest night we’ll ever see,
Or longest day we’ll ever know
As in our lives will sadness grow.
Because of You, we’ve traveled far
To reach the Comfort that You are !
AMEN.
We’ll smile a smile or sing a song
Join a chorus or laugh along
Please take a chance, what can you lose
How does one know the path to choose ?
The little child that each once was
Teenagers that will challenge cause,
The old, infirm or oddly gruff
Like those who’ve known a road more rough
These are what life is composed of
They dream of peace and search for love !
I feel so empty deep inside
Like I’ve been on a rocket ride
Perhaps to Venus or to Mars
Out there in space among the stars.
Quite like the stranger I’ve become
To find myself grown cold and numb
Will someone help explain to me
Where shall I seek my destiny ?
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 !
We search and search most everywhere
To seek some peace we all may share
There is no safety chaos brings
More joy is found in circus rings.
The labyrinth of life goes on
According to the airs we don
For when we’re done each must confess
One won’t be judged by style or dress !
Another dawn breaks free and clear
With cautions no one seems to hear
What is it we are searching for
Besides the key to peace not war ?
Of all the wishes I have missed,
( Not least of all, Prince Charming’s kiss )
I feel that I have been misled
And pandered to by lies instead.
Tis sad that I’ve not yet to learn
Love’s not a passion one can earn
Most words of love that I have heard
Are spurious and quite absurd
But still I’m sure true love exists
Keep searching, know you must persist !
A minor thought does come to mind
Outside these walls what shall I find
A world that’s cruel and much unkind
The foolishness of dumb and blind,
Society that’s gone to waste
A place devoid of any taste
That flounders in unthinking haste
On ideals that are wicked based !
I wonder, God, if it’s okay
To ask You for another stay ?
I sure could use a second chance
To search around for life’s romance
I do get, oh, so tired of
A world that seems devoid of love !
Sometimes I believe there is no end
To all the troubles fleet time may send
And how can we in good faith respond
As we find ourselves so put upon ?
Where is the justice that we must seek
To save us whether brave, mild or meek
What is it that we’ve been searching for
Or hope to find behind God’s locked door ?
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 !
There are those thoughts that slip away
Into the realm of yesterday
Deep hidden midst one’s memory
Like moments caught in reverie
At times drawn from the saddened past
To seek those dreams that did not last !
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 !
I have walked along a lonely path that leads I know not where
And found myself adrift upon a deserted thoroughfare
I have wandered in the empty fields abandoned by the flock
And trudged the way where bales of hay were stored for the winter’s stock
Now here I am alone at last close to my true destiny
And all I’ve learned and thought about is a mystery to me !
Where have they gone the comfort days
All soft and warm midst caring ways
When that we knew was safe and kind
The world had heart and soul and mind.
Our love of God did hold great sway
We did not fear for each new day
Now seeming lost no way to turn
The time is late, too late to learn ?
There were two souls long lost at sea
They sailed so far but couldn’t see
One steady course to set them free.
They traveled past the great divide
And cruised the world on either side
There seemed no chance they would collide.
They traveled hard and traveled long
And tried to fit and to belong
In foreign waters filled with song.
Remembering God loves us all,
Perhaps one day it will befall
No matter where that port of call !
When the dark shroud of night has fallen from my eyes
And the pale light of early morn bids me arise
These strange thoughts assault the synergy of my day
And I’m consumed with one wild urge to run away,
I’m sure this world rests heavily upon my mind
And keeps me foreign to the peace that I must find.
