Seven Days

Seven days
and seven nights
I searched my cobwebbed soul.
How dark those old forgotten paths
where once I tread my will.

Seven days
and seven nights
How sad I was back then.
Forsaking You and walking proud
soling the weak of man.

Seven days
and seven nights
My sins so countless then.
Yet unashamed I stood and blamed
and cursed at heaven’s gate.

Seven suns
and seven moons
That was my journey, then.
A passage to this wondrous land
where light now shines within.
