A dream of a prayer ~ sonnet

Again, I seek a guiding light to shine

My rocky road has bruised my fragile soul

Torn from my chest my heart beats in cold brine

So why am I still walking on hot coal?

Too many times I've tried to find a way 

To placate wayward whims with fake belief

Is that the reason why I want to stray?
It's not God's fault, I am the wicked thief.

Fear not, don't let your burdens steal your peace

obey the truth, give heaven all your cares

and in a moment you will have release

if you denounce the curse of these nightmares.

In solemn awe I now adopt new dreams

Come Shepherd lead me there to peaceful streams.

Words of deep introspection in the heart of a good man. I say a good man because I understand that conflict happens only in good souls. There is no room for self-doubt in the unabashedly evil soul. I love the message here. The picture is lovely.
