Paths Unknown

a poem

Before me there was a door
That led to a path, and I did not know more.
Then beside it there was another
Which led to a second path.
The unknown made me shudder.
So I looked up to the heavens to ask,
"Where is it You want me to go?
Lord, my soul paces, I am lost.
Paint my purpose for my spirit to know.
But my spirit is restless, twisted in moss.
You keep my purpose quiet, covered away
Like a buried treasure I need to find.
Reveal Your code to me, show me Your way,
So I can decipher Your map
To know which path I should take."
