Lifting the Fog

Lord,I am lost
I have wandered
Far from 
The righteous path
Into the mists of desire
Never thinking of consequences
Grabbing at the easy rungs of life

Trouble has become a companion
Here now I pledge,no more
Enter my life,I pray

For
Only you can show the way
Grace me with your light

Greg, you chose a wonderful way to show the theme of "Lifting the Fog" with this spiritual poem. If it had been punctuated, I'd have put it in the top three! Congratulations.
