    Ichnos
    -
    I see but Your pale shadow
    Reaching for my hand
    Yet I faced my sorrows
    Instead of the joys of your plans
    -
    I walk on
    Following someone elses steps
    Or was I following my own,
    Instead of tracing Your treads?
    -
    I am lost
    Asking directions where to lead
    I place my head on boasts
    When its Your words I should read
    -
    I see You bearing your cross
    But I turn my head away
    I place everything and toss
    Dreaming of things I may
    -
    You said, I’d never walk alone
    With faith, hope and love
    Trying to understand
    These footprints I see on the sand
    -
    Will You reach for my arm again
    Take my hand, please!
    My efforts to be found is in vain
    On unending tides and seas
    -
    Lead me, Oh Lord
    Show me the way
    These steps are for nothing
    Without your guidance everyday

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
