there is some light seeking magnet
that dwells within my soul
some kind of compass aligned
to a translation of truth
that directs my thoughts and control
How to guide my life when I’m lost
and can’t relate to the life i know


there’s this vague outline
that is a coloring book of sorts
that allows me to fill in
the shades of what is unseen
and tries each day to connect the dots
and define what’s in the heart of me
And what I really mean


but wait there’s more
always one more way
to add a few words to say
and subtitles for this foreign language
that God’s silence conveys


and it can be translated
in so many different ways
cause even when I say God
most have a different interpretation
of what that is for them
even when they pray


but there is this compass
that I carry deep inside
and I try to remember to find it
when I can find the time each day


but I know there’s this saving grace
a hope that understands come what may
that one day we’ll find a way to relate
and communicate that light’s intent
and merge with love’s great Presence
