A Spiritual Journey

This is the long and winding path taken
 longing for my very soul to awaken,
biblical words and sayings
 the spirit's guide to praying

when the history of the past
 clings to the God of whom I ask 
Is this it, is this all there is,
 please enlighten the inner soul that lives?

One foot on the revolving earth
 struggling to find my worth
heart and mind on the skies
 realizing in the end, bodies all die.

Who am I and where am I going,
 desperate to escape this unknowing
speak Lord, speak loud and clear
 my soul is forever in doubt and fear.

Is that a light in the distance I see?
 the answer to all that is me -
come to me Lord, fill my heart and my soul
 walking in life's journey makes me whole.
