navigating
this mine field
called life
every step
we take
do we hesitate
or instigate
how many times
do we mitigate
have you
lost
everything
become
lost
in the dark
wander
lost
in the wilderness
wake up
lost
within
yourself
how many times
have you
been confused
by everything
around you
if the moon
were our guide
would we
wonder
if the man in the moon
is God
if the sun
showed us
the way
would we
falter
become blinded
by those life
giving rays
if your world
stops spinning
would you
find yourself
out of control
when the day
becomes night
does fear
grip
your soul
what if we
stumble
and fall
what if we
are caught up
in a hurricane
does tomorrow
seem vain
does life
matter at all
or does time stop
and only
this very second
mean anything
at all
if we
step
on a land mine
will our past
give us
clarity
if we drown
in the sea
will existence
provide us
charity
when the end
draws near
when our dreams
become
completely clear
how will we
go on
will we
still be
some wretched pawn
or will
the hopeless world
disappear
and suddenly
we'll find ourselves
living
every relevant moment
absent of fear
