In Search of the Truth

When too many threats
And too many guesses
Bring too many days
With too few successes.

We find too many miles
With too many sorrows
And too many yesterdays and
Too few tomorrows.

Life comes at us
In staggered arrays
We take on our burdens
With too little praise.

We search for the truth
In all the wrong places
Ignoring the wisdom
Not found in our chases.

But if we look closer
With uncluttered eyes
Avoid all the chatter
And grandiose lies.

There is only one place
Where everything’s right
Just open your eyes
And walk toward the light.
