night traveller
( or maybe depression?)

Weary the traveller climbs life's hill
The way is long and the night so still
Silent the  white owl in her flight
She cares not for the travellers plight
Long gone day's last fading light
All is lost ,no way in sight

What dread sprits walk abroad?
In fear our traveller calls the Lord
"My soul is lost,no hope in sight
Send me Lord some guiding light,"
Silent the moon from behind the cloud
Lights the hillside all around

We are but travellers of life's brief day
If you brother,sister ,have lost your way
Then call upon the Lord and pray.

Michael,
This write is one of the deepest emotional pieces I have seen from you.
I don't find it depressing..but so very true to life.
Life, as we know it, is over in the blink of an eye..
and if one of us has lost our way,
we need only to ask Him in prayer to lead us.
Wonderfully written my friend across the pond.

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~

So loving, and very touching! Loved reading this because it's so forgiving of our human frailties.
