Misdirected Flight

Drifting
Looking for the path
Wondering
Searching for direction

I lift my eyes
Your face is all I see
My direction is set
The path leads to you

Do I follow?
Is this right?
Will my heart be broken?
But how to discover...

I take a breath
I lift my foot
The step is taken
I am falling

Lost in your eyes
Thanking God I found you
I am blind to all else
I fail to see

I am undone in love with you
My heart flies, soaring
But your eyes have changed
My heart loses altitude

I lay, broken
My flight ended
The crash unexpected
I am left here

I pull the pieces of me close
Try to put them together
Attempting to forget the pain
I find myself, once again...

Drifting
Looking for the path
Wondering
Searching for direction

Trying

Working so hard
Longing for a reprieve
Wanting so badly
To start the next chapter

But imagination has run dry
Ideas stretch thin
No wise words offered
No light bulb flashes

Dreams long forgotten
Started stirring a while past
The next chapter beckons
But where to begin?

I need inspiration
A thought
A sound
A word

But I hear only silence and
My own heart beating
My own breath catching
As I try one more time
To step out into my life
