In Search of Spiritual Identity
Michael Silverman O Come O Come Emmanuel
Lost as a sheep in a foggy meadow
I cling to earth like a waning shadow
With cuffed wings of a broken bird
Bruised and stilled with voices unheard.
I bend on my knees and looked at your gaze
Your piercing eyes, I fell all dazed
Lord ,I have not a word to say to you
But you know my heart and my soul too.
I drifted apart and I have gone
I didn't stop until I was done.
I wasn't wise and left your fold
Only to succumb to life's bitter cold.
Tempted and lured to earth's disguise
The fool I was, greeted my own demise
My peony life beaten and crushed
Nothing left and immensely trashed.
Your shrouded mystery I couldn't grasp
I, a lost soul , caged in a trap
Bewitched,bewildered with mundane treasure
Blinded with gilded satanic pleasure.
I doubted myself how far can I go
Without YOU,Lord, I honestly do not know
Without your guiding hands,I cannot tread
Farther and farther is an endless road ahead.
What have I done, I dared to ask
I know in my heart I failed the task
You looked at me with a loving trust
Humbled and sad,I return to you,at last.

Very nicely done. It is best for some people to be with the rest of the flock, to be held within the arms of our Higher Power.

That's great. God is always good. I have yet to see a day that HE wasn't even those times when we are against all odds.

Peaceful, my Sweet Nomad.
The weather is improving too. Some work and some God-loving manifestation. God is good.
So kind of you to ask. All praise, my loving Friend.
