Some day, I wonder,
might I know at last
the peace that settles within
when perfect faith is achieved?
A lifetime it seems and I have spent it searching,
never knowing what is right
for feeling, in the unknown,
is harder than it seems;
I see with my eyes
hands folded in prayer
or lifted in praise,
yet it does not stir me;
I feel with my heart
how the warmth of peace should be,
yet somehow it eludes me
and leaves me alone in the darkness;
I hear with my ears
pained cries that seem
to come from nowhere and everywhere
and then I realize they are mine;
And still, I wonder,
that perhaps some day
whether soon or very distant
I might find my peace. |
