Lost Soul The lonely roads I have traversed In deep and solemn thought And yet perceive no ray of hope To problems life has wrought Weary thus in heart and soul I sought peace amongst humanity And found myself on the brink of The abysmal depths of insanity. So I turned my back on humanity To take comfort in solitude And found I was much better of At the mercy of the multitude. But within the shadow of solitude I sought refuge in spiritual ties And too late…woke up to find Heaven - a fool’s paradise. The heart assailed by doubts and fears Turns for guidance to the mind Finds the mind itself in doubt Agitated, ignorant and blind. The mind against its own will Soars on the wings of fantasy Revels in its own deception And yet hates this idiosyncrasy. It fills me with maddening dread This doubtful frame of mind Knowing not what reason seeks Nor what the path will find. |

Anwaar, you are not a lost soul. You are just finding your way. The day will come when the skies will clear and the sun will shine on the path that you are to take. Trust that this will be so. Blessings to you, Dear One Loving hugs and an understanding smile, EA |

Of a truth, sometimes the answers are less easy to discover than the questions, though I also find.. sometimes I don't even know the questions... Some good thoughts here, thanks for sharing  Pepper |
