THE AWAKENING

"To a loving God"
Stealing apace the years went by drifting along
In contemplation, my heart knew something was wrong
In dolorousness, I struggled, I prayed and I cried
God alone knows how I tried

The familiar surroundings
I find myself drowning
I must say goodbye
Or surely wither and die

I see the hurt and pain in his eyes
How do I live in this maze of lies?
My adamantine quest God knows was hard and long
O! This rent heart of mine held steadfast and strong

All alone I ponder and wonder where did I go wrong?
This bleeding soul now knows I do not belong
The strong has ended
Nothing can be mended

These wayfarer's hearts have now gone apart
This book I now close to make a new start

""We must observe what are the natural rhythms of a well-regulated and complete life, and when we have discovered these we must compel the foot and the music to suit themselves to the sense of such a life, and not the sense to suit itself to the foot and the music." [Plato]"
