Life's Journey - June 11, 2011

A cold frosty window seperates me from life
How I long to be a part of the boisterious celebration
My heart aches as the party proceeds in my absence
Though there is a peace of knowing who I am on this road of isolation
The warfare is ferocious
as the darts hit their mark
By peering into this vast abyss, the darkness brings doubt
The need for cheap and numbing become insatiable
The bone chilling wind whip's through this diminshing soul
Only to add layers to this frosty window pane
How do I embrace this voyage through this sea of tranqulity
when the path is strewn with thorns
How do I embrace a borderless love when you tell me it's my problem
I struggle forward past shipwrecked pilgrims searching to fill that hole
I hear the whisper calling out to me"Follow me"
so I decide to risk, step out into the frosty air not knowing what my search will excavate
But recognizing the warmth in my journey that fuels this expanding spirit
