VISION

I gazed upon the twilight

And behold I saw a castle

This castle holds everything I’ll ever need

It is indeed the abode of my destiny

Excitement thrilled me; my future I just found thee.

I looked down to take my first step

And behold there was no place for me to step

Between me and my future lied a mighty sea

And there was no bridge in sight, none to connect we

Sadness filled me; my future, how do I get to thee.

I went into my brain, flipping through the pages of history

And behold I remembered the Israelites story

Then I longed for the staff of Moses

But all within reach were weeds and roses

Despair came calling; I was alone in this.

A passage I remembered, again from the Bible

Behold I am with you until the end of time

I am the way, the truth and the light

I will create a path for you in the wilderness

Hope was enkindled; I could make it to my future.

Since Christ was with me, there was no reason to panic

Behold he walked on water and promised I’ll do better

I prayed and braced up to emulate this gesture

On taking my first step, I saw two paths not a sea

Complete illusion, the water was mere deception.

I then halted confused, oblivious of what path to choose.

One was smooth and had cabs, but its destination chased goose

The other; a footpath filled with rocks, pits and thorns led to the castle

But I knew for every prize, there has to be a price

So fastening my jungle boots, I made out for the dangerous route
