Asking for Directions

Lovesick Yonder

By RayaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Thank you rob for the beautiful picture!

Lost on my path— at least that’s how I feel

With this sudden shift of the heart

and the part of my conscience yelling out

that I mustn’t heed with guilt

but with faith

But what if my faith is askew?

What if I’m supposed to meet someone

that’ll change how I view the light

my intuition displays?

How can I stay… when my heart is

Three thousand miles away?

I must get back to her before she decays

Leaving me as ashes in disarray, swayed by

my decision to stay.

The refusal to listen for direction has me

feeling this way.
