I am never alone

Cold was the feeling, A creeping chill of the moon less night

Dread and exhaustion, was all that was of me

A shell of a human , empty of heart and soul

Life's all but a mirage lingering desolately for miles ahead.

The road I am on, found no end, So many twists,turns and forks

When ever a brief respite of end was sought, it curved another bend

Tired and senseless I walk along,

Deep within, my heart numb and hollow

Winding and turning I trudge on, So many lanes join and split

Not knowing where , what and which lay ahead.

Standing at a fork on this path of misery, I am suddenly scared and all alone  

Tears of sorrow streak my face, as I shudder a look ahead

Heaviness of a long lost hope lay curdling in my brain 

I struggle to put one foot behind the other, A traveler lost on the ways of the World.

A gentle hand lay sweet upon my shoulder,

Not knowing who, I feel hope

I turn to see but feel with my heart 

A brief but soothing breeze, an outstretched arm with a helping hand.........

I thank you God,  for the day you touched me,

And now I smile each time I look upon my way

The road has warmed and all my sorrows are tamed

Within my heart , I now know,  Your friendship and love will always remain.

So be the next bend I travel frightening and new,

I will walk without pain or sorrow

Now that I am at last at peace with my hope

Your Love shines forth on my way, Sure lost I'll never be again

A cheer of warmth holds me now, an embrace of life sweet and warm 

I walk steady by the beats my heart,  

Breaths as light a fluttering feather

Not before, but knowing this now, On all my roads , I am never alone
