I know not where the pathway lies.
Dark shadows overhead
Confuse the eye and chill the mind
And fill the soul with dread.
Though told of roads less traveled by
O'er-grown in unworn state,
I cannot see beyond myself
Dark are my dreams of late.
With sadness, past omissions come,
The present stands with doubt.
With dread and fear the future nears,
Her unknowns sewn throughout.
I know not to where the pathway leads
Through despair's deep, wintry night.
I pray the end stands in my reach,
With hope and guiding light.
Comments
May hope and light guide you indeed.
(Interestingly enough, the word for word verification is "caspars"- as in "more than one friendly ghost." Appropriate considering the time of year.)
I agree with Elise and feel that out of the whole poem, the most important word is hope.
Right after I read this, I went to your link to your Mormon.org page. It said that even after all the tests and the smoke clears that you are still left standing strong in your belief and that is something about you that I have always admired and looked up to.
I CANNOT wait to see you in three and 1/2 weeks!
P.S. if you have not heard Coldplays new song "paradise" here is the link
