The Guiding Light

An unsighted lamp that someone lighted 
when you arrived with the mission of life, 
illumines  the unpaved dark path for you 
to complete the journey you’re destined to.  

The self-generated obsessive free-will 
envelopes your mind with an unreal veil, 
obscures the ordained destination He decides,
you would reach for you should at His will. 

The unseen light from the omnipresent glow 
floods your essence, but you don’t perceive, 
for you construct the free-will encapsulating the ego 
in the realm of fantasy shrouded in self-deception. 

The designer’s all-pervasive light shines remotely 
during the travel time allotted for your journey. 
Its invisible rays will guide you like the pole star 
to the end of your path where He waits for you.
