Carolyn Devonshire Poet Kyrielle

Notes About The Poem

 

His

Path

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.
