on the ground

As i sought the way in which i should go,

 it was a faded  road map to read ,you know.

I found comfort here and sweetness there,

I found my prayers racing thru the air.

As long as i kept a heavenly gaze

i had faith and love and peaceful days.

But when i looked around and checked where i stood

Only then i would find the flawed and no good.

With my knees dug in and my face in the dirt

i could hear the cries of the injured and hurt.

People looking for the way they should go

spinning and dazed and nothing to show,

No faded map to read ,off in every direction,

No map to tell them when they needed correction.

I stood there among the wailers and screamers,

No divine direction , and of course no Redeemer .

I let them pass as they may , as they avoided my glance

some of them rushing, some in a trance.

Every once in a while, some one would see me and my map,

They would clear their throats and give my shoulder a tap.

I could point out where we were , and where we needed to be

I could point to the blood ,and the nails in the tree.

Some would ask, where do you start and where do you finish

You start here on your knees , and by HIS grace your sins will diminish.

They say how do you know with so many maps out there,

 that this one that you should share?

All i can say with faith in my heart ,

HIStory will tell you that you must begin your trip

no matter how late, or how often you slip.

But with truth in my heart , and tears in my eyes,

With fear and trembling this is what i summize,

if i was standing on the ground the day that HE rose,

what was the truth that day? Not everyone knows.

Its a bit of a mystery ,a course for your soul.

the destination is the place where you become whole.
