Again, I have traveled into the land of lost dreams,
Empty desires and endless pain.
Many times, now, I have found myself in this desert,
Alone without provision and seemingly lost.
Angry, bitter and afraid
I have pushed on without direction or plan.
Suddenly, an arrow pierces my heart
I fall into the dirt,
And the buzzards begin to circle above.
Then I Remember-
I am not alone
For I have a Friend
To lift me out of this self-imposed exile.
Why have I traveled so long-
In this daze?
Because, again, I have relied on myself
And forgotten
From where I came
And where I am going?
O Lord, You allow me to fall
So, You might lift me up.
Why do I forget this?
Over and over, again.
