The Guide

The Guide

Lost, stumbling through the dark,
searching for some direction,
my heart cries out to be saved,
beseeching ressurection.

A lone star beckons to me,
providing my only light,
whispering, Walk on, Child,
I am here with you tonight.

Her soft words offer comfort
as aimlessly I wander,
thinking of the days gone by,
mourning those I did squander.

Remorse courses through my veins
from life I let slip away;
Precious moments that have passed,
tainted by my angry ways.

I look to the sky and pray,
hoping that I can be saved.
My weary soul has faltered,
but I am not so depraved.

My eyes plead with the heavens,
Tears cascading down my face,
The star, my friend, winks at me:
Child, you are not disgraced.

Lost, stumbling through the darkness,
continuing Life's journey,
knowing I have gone astray;
To Home, let the star guide me.
