It was all so clear to me,
but now,
its time eludes me.
I was caught up in a place
of doors and windows
all before me.
I thought it meant
I had a choice,
but so many lost decisions,
cost me more than I could bear,
until my vision saw no exit.
Even the light
sought to elude me.
I questioned every worthy mention.
The ideas in my head
seemed wrong again,
and I was left out
in the desert.
Under a new sky,
an image formed before me.
A new light,
a new day,
a new way to surrender.
There were no more
thoughts of despair for me;
only a quiet hope.
In the middle of nowhere,
any direction could lead me home.
