Resuscitate Me

Like a horse without a name A rider on the shore I pretend to know my way But how can I be sure When all around is dark And the future seems so grey Using the rear view mirror to Guide me through each day With one foot on the ground And the other hanging limp I navigate my course Like a sinking ship Drowning in the pain With no one else to blame My sorrow and my shame Came crashing down on me Like a wave upon a rock With one leg in the past The other running fast On wounded knees I stumble With every step I take As I struggle to exist You unfailingly insist These burdens were never Meant to bear alone I choose to have no fear with a future still unclear and as I let go……….. You gently take the lead And in a moments time Like a renewing of the mind Your peace and comfort Resuscitate me
