Walking In a Circle
As I walked down the street. I caught myself looking for a sign.
Of an old familiar road that had become lost to me.
I could not stop thinking about my directions, and my choices.
My mind was not settled, I had thoughts,
What about this? Should I go over there, or around here?
How about down over there?
As I began looking for answers to questions, I had not yet even asked yet.
Was I trying to find a destination that did not exist?
Because the road I was on was coming to an end.
Was this just a puzzle for me, a maze?
Was I seeing things?
As I continue to travel down the road, I could no longer see clear.
Was it because my destination was shaken?
That I could no longer find my way?
Is this a symbol for my life?
Just when did I let go of reality?
I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
Just then the wind blew, and a car came to a screeching halt.
I found myself right back where I had begun, I had waked in a circle.
When our destination becomes cloudy, and unclear
That’s when we try to find a better way to reach our destination.
And we end up walking around in a circle.
In the journey we take, why not follow God’s plan for our lives.
Because when we don’t follow his plan, we end up walking around in a circle.
Life’s too short to keep going in circles.
But maybe that’s just me.
