Lost Friend

Lonesomeness conquered me

The prison stifling, its allure fading

I sought the one who would nurture me

Guide me, inspire me, set me free

Thus began the quest for Thee

The one whose name I whispered

When I turned at night

Who would cause me tears

And chase my fears

I drank the sea of your love from the book

Till I was drowned

Tossed upon its waves and storms

Still seeking

Landing on the shore

Now I knew I could hold no more

I begged at the door to the city its key

Through the books and ink I sought to be free

All my journey all my quest

Seeking you, torn apart

And I began to wonder

Who took me on my travel

And was my ark in the sea

Who sheltered me

Upon the shore

And took me through the valley

I felt a light, growing stronger

I had plunged the darkness seeking day

Till I could go no longer

Now to realize my light

My friend

Had held my hand

All the way.
