One Step More
I have awakened from a catalogue of dreams;
each, very different from the other;
my mind has envisioned a passing of scenes;
with competitor; friend; and lover.
I stand in awe from my dream’s utility;
its purpose still remains hidden;
my thoughts still dwell on life’s futility;
and my dreams of being forgiven.
I stand as both judge and jury upon all;
even as flawed as I’ve become;
in weakness, pride has brought my fall;
I seek relief, from the Holy One.
Tho It’s still dark; the dawn is nearby;
my thoughts; captured by dreams;
in the midst of joy, I’m tempted to cry;
for reality is never what it seems.
In my twilight years; I’m living alone;
in fear of what’s yet to come;
I’ve much yet to do; before I go home;
in wonder of what I’m to become.
I attempt to live life, one day at a time;
but my days seem to run together;
the path, I’m on; is like a quest, sublime;
one that could take me forever.
I no longer know; just how to proceed;
Lord; please show me the door
I must share your love; that others need;
by taking just one step more.
