Life's Fog

I am on a journey, distance and destination are unknown.
This path I follow winds both left and right without end or direction.
I am being taken up the side of an unseen mountain.
All around is a blanket of fog, and underneath is the big picture of where I am.

I am confused and disoriented, seeing only a few feet of the path in front.
Nothing makes sense except for the path in front, going up.
I am weary and tired with no place to rest; but in the dust.
There is no one to follow; and no one to lead, all I know is loneliness.

I am doomed for eternity, wandering life's path aimlessly, seeking and not finding.
Sights to see, things to know, places to be, people to meet and love unselfishly.
These things are desired as experiences and cherished as memories.
Fullness in life and joy in living these represent, all I know is life's void.

Hopelessness I know, inability I experience, to the heavens I look.
I plead to God in my dispair, opening my heart I cry out;
O God, Eternal Father, Great Lord, look at me and have mercy on my soul.
My heart and life are Yours, take the lead, show me Your direction.

Even as I weep in my failure, the fog thins and growing patches of blue I see.
Fields, forests, and steams appear below through the breaking fog.
The world I see around me, I wonder in awe as I stand atop the world.
The path I follow continues to wind through trials; but God is my leader.

I am full of joy and constant learning; God leads my every step.
He is my ever-present help; He teaches me the details of life;
Of wondrous sights to see, of wise counsels and knowledge, of people and love.
I trust His lead wholeheartedly; He has made sense of life and its path.

This journey I travel needs no destination, and distance is no concern.
The path can go to the right or even to the left without aim or degree.
I can travel up the highest mountain or descend into the deepest valley.
I will do all things and I will go all places with God at the helm.
