His

Path

Poised at the universe’s edge, In consternation, I allege, “I’m lost, Dear Lord.” I beg and plead, “Just show me the path; I’ll proceed.” Fearful to stray from my tower, How I marvel at Your power! My wounds of indecision bleed; Just show me the path; I’ll proceed. Lost in vast waves of dark and light, I try to find the road that’s right. At crossroads, Your guidance I need; Just show me the path; I’ll proceed. As our Earth swirls among the stars, From mortal sin, I bear the scars. So help me make my fears recede; Just show me the path; I’ll proceed. January 7, 2020

This poem is certainly in praise of God--your words read like a prayer--serene and peaceful. The repeating line spells the essence of your poem. Best for a win, Carolyn.
