lost & found

I had not been able to sleep

My heart searches

My soul weary

I had not been able to rest

My heart travels

My soul weary

I had not been able to rest

My heart travels

My soul lingers

I had not been able to be at peace

My heart disturbed

My soul lost

I was searching

And looking

And was lost

The eternal abyss.

I had given up,

Took loneliness to be my home

And solitude became my permanent address

My weary heart stopped searching.

Then you came to me.

You gave me your arms so that

I have a new home

You stopped my searched

Dissipated my loneliness

Replenished my weary soul

So what more can I ask?

You are my map

You give me direction

Lost no more

And I can carry on…
