In this darkness
Trying to feel as I go along
Visionless, moving slowly
Not knowing just where I belong
I make my way through the darkness, poorly
Deep within my nerves are rattled
Uncertainty is my only guide
All the while my hopes unraveled
Fear, unwelcome, by my side
Troubled, I wonder how I arrived
At such a place where no one belongs
Anxiously I try to find
Illumination to help me along
No longer trusting my instincts
I cry out in desperation
Trembling, this humble earthling
Hears a voice that is unmistaken
You should have known all along, my child
This journey isnt for lonely pilgrims
Ive known the way all the while
But, stubbornly, you chose confusion
In the beginning, as a child, you trusted
But, in your desire for independence
You let go of my hand, excited
Wide-eyed, viewing a world without limits
Now you find yourself in this darkness
Lonely and fearing the worst
But, I, in love and patience
Offer you the guidance you knew at first
Will you trust me this time, little one?
My promises have never changed
You will always be my forgiven one
From beginning to end, unstained
