GPS Signal

Contemplating GPS and how often I have Lost and Found myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I traced out all my steps what is it I would find?

Have I lost myself somewhere along the swirling line?

Between my trail of fear and hopes, this soul does not find rest

It waits for reassurance that I have done my best.

 

If GPS could trace for me all the places I have been

Would my path resemble art born from an artist’s pen?

Perhaps as I search for truth that doesn’t seem to come

My path looks like chaos drawn by me blind and numb

 

Send to me a signal now O satellite up on high

Tell me where I am and been so I won’t pass me by

I have searched the world all over to find myself so long

Been guided by vision quest and loves sweet song

 

GPS does promise that I might yet be found

Tell me where I am right now that my joy will resound

Please send a signal now to the phones light in my hand

Blink to reassure me when you find me in this land

 

Author's Note

This one is just a silly thought about the life long quest to find myself and a fantasy that GPS could help me out.

This is beautiful! I also find it creative that you used a GPS as a metaphor to find yourself in life. The last two lines: Please send a signal now to the phones light in my hand/ Blink to reassure me when you find me in this land." I think everyone goes through a period of wanting to find themselves and to see who they are or what they could become. Veronica this was inspirational to me, because I am constantly worrying if I am not on the right path in life, but then I read this...and I feel that where I am now is where I should be. I love writing and I hope to find myself as an author one day! Thank you!!

If only our life was directed by a GPS, so many reasons why it would be best,
Someone to blame for taking the wrong way and not admitting life is a test.

Well written..

Very cool write! I used to think that GPS stood for 'Going positively inSane"

God's Positive Serenity from within - that GPS will show you, I think.
