Poem: Straight Through the Shadows
The hills bend and curve ahead.
The trees lean over broken roads.
But you carve a path through the dark,
A narrow road filled with your light,
A way straight through the shadows.
My heart tries to plan each turn.
My hands clutch at fading maps.
But you call me to lift my eyes.
You call me to lean on your word.
You direct the lines of my life.
The storms howl and bend the trees.
The dust blurs the rising hills.
But your promises stay unshaken.
Your mercy paves the way unseen.
Your voice is stronger than the winds.
Even when I cannot see far ahead,
You guide my foot to the next stone.
You stretch the road under my feet.
You build a bridge with every step.
You shape a way through the fear.
I walk today with open hands.
I trust the One who sees the end.
The road will rise where you command.
The path will shine where you have gone.
The journey will finish in your love.
