"The Lonely Trail Home"
The Mobius
Way
I stand on a twisted path unaware,
The way blurs and recedes,
Curling into the unknown future.
Dare I step out?
A pullcart of memories holds
Failures, successes, sorrows,
Joys, loves, hurts.
Dare I let go?
Society surrounds me
Criticizing, pushing, pulling,
Judging, praising, luring.
Dare I set my own course?
My fears restrain me, warning of
Dangers, losses, despairs,
Failures, sorrows, hurts.
Dare I risk all?
My heart encourages me, telling of
Ease, comfort, peace,
Successes, joys, loves.
Dare I believe?
I tread a twisted path,
The way blurs and recedes,
Curling into the unknown future.
My God enables me with
Power, spirit, insight,
Faith, hope, charity.
Dare I not believe?
