“COLDSTREAM”

I walked through dark hallways, always knowing there was a better path.
I balked at the harp’s calling, always knowing there was a better map.
I stayed transient,
always moving,
couldn’t stop.
Had to keep going.
I had no direction, bleak was my life’s perception,
had to keep everyone from knowing.
I sailed on a black river, endlessly flowing.
I tried to paddle upstream, but my arms got tired of rowing.

Then one day I just let go.
I threw my arms to the sky, and wouldn’t you know?
Suddenly the water was crystal clear.
I found my purpose for which I had been searching for years.
Like a harmonic symphony I had an epiphany and I cried many tears.
The river led me out to a wide-open sea,
but suddenly
I had no worries,
because standing, was the Lord, next to me.
