I walk the lonely desert of hope On the horizon I see despair In my mind I acknowledge fear Yet, my heart knows the fearless One Whom I turn to for understanding The only one in whom peace resides
I'm shown the mountains of faith Crumbling into the oceans of doubt Truth and trust are a mired battle field I am asked the question."Where are Steadfast and Loyal streets, are they so quickly abandoned when put to the test ?"
I have no answer,because of my guilt For I too travel on highways of confusion Knowing my true path is resurrection avenue I need to compose myself, restore my balance I will travel only on a freeway of harmony Planet Earth is not my permanent residence
"... Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."
Henry David Thoreau ...I couldn't help but remember this quotation from Thoreau when I read your wonderful poem, Eileen.

A very inspiring poem. Would it not so much better if signs would clearly point us into the right direction, but probably less beneficial in the long run... actually a thought provoking poem,
Love, B&R
Only you and you alone decides each your next steps. But you know, as do I, that we are all connected in a weird invisible way, so what each of us does, impacts all others. This doesn't mean we should live our lives entirely for the sake of others. No, because part of what makes us human, is in knowing we don't know everything. So all we can do, is do our best and hope for the best.
Peace,
~ Sara

You seem to possess an internal device which allows you to make mistakes, but put them all in perspective. Would that we all could do that.

Deep and exhaustive with feelings of major angst. The poet expresses thought which has plagued man throughout history. You gave it to a personal touch. Well done.
