Cannot explain the what I'm doing here

just found this thread

thought it was leading somewhere.

Took me to a book

the pages it marked

I took a look

and I read inside.

'He who is concious of their spiritual need.'

I laughed inside

but never let it out

the big I am was somewhat

in doubt.

So I followed this thread

to where it may lead,

walked for days and days

it seemed.

Then it was twisted around

a signpost that said

'Still concious of your need?'

I grinned feeling nervous

then still followed the thread,

my past seemed so distant

almost out of my head.

I watched where my feet trod

it was getting so dark

at least I felt safe

this thread was my path.

I had not noticed

how the thread had grown

more like a rope

and the were signs saying 'home'.

It was there I arrived

after many years

back to where I had started,

the very same tree.

There on the ground

sat a man of many years

he looked at me and smiled

then said 'You have overcome your fears.'

'God is forgiving, so long as you try,

why did you doubt?

because you did not try.'

'The thread was a test,

you have a fine grain,

hold fast to that faith

and here you will remain.'
