Finding the Path

I know
You said
Something was unusual
Out of sorts
And you
Are distant
Where? I don't know
You will not share
And I do not ask
But merely wait

Do you share what I feel?
Restlessness
That's what you said
You always do say what I cannot

A new beginning?
Perhaps
Or maybe something ancient
But something is coming
Unknown, mysterious
Neither dark nor light
Or maybe both
Who knows?
Maybe we're not supposed to

Maybe I have been reading too much
But you have felt it too
So I am not alone
As I feel I am
But you are there
Separate, apart
But there nonetheless

I know God is there
Even if I do not feel Him
And so I pray
Pray that He hears
That He listens

And I write
Ever compelled
Ever purging my thoughts
Pouring my unconsciousness
Into words
In communion with pencil and paper

But what do you do?
You of little faith
Who does not write
How do you quiet those voices
Crying to be heard?

We all have our demons and angels
We are all Jacob sometimes
Wrestling with what lies within
And outside of ourselves
And what crosses those lines

I know I am helpless
To help you
I pray for the path to be smooth
I wish
You would tell me
Maybe I could understand
But you have your own choices
And so I wait once again
Because I know you will find it
It's just a matter of time
