A Poem ... I Was Lost


I Was Lost


Silent sentinels of amber light
Line the streets of darkest night

Deathly still and ramrod straight
Show the path to heaven's gate

Huddled masses move in sync
Along the abyss before the brink

Slippery long is that slope
Depths of pain without a hope

Winds gust and slumber call
Easier to stop, stay and fall
 

Sirens of an almighty deep
Call the living from their sleep

Awake, Rise, find the way
The goal is clear you've gone astray


Memories of a better life
Guide the weary through the strife

Gates open; wide and bright
Laughter, tears fill the night

I was lost,  you called for me
Home at last and ever free
