Observance

A reflective poem

Observance
Beloved friend
Where have you roamed off to?
I earnestly seek your guidance
Amid desperate times
Where I see no end

Light of my countenance
Fuel to my resonance
I give thanks for times like these
The still thoughts remind me —
I am tailored for this

Almighty presence
I know that just as you quiet
Those ill intrusive thoughts
Percolating in my wellspring
You will subsequently bring
Cherished moments of stillness
Unveiling pearls of wisdom
Much-needed advice
Protect you from paying the price
Of a fool that befalls twice
To the same ruse
Wash away that insanity
Up, up, and away — will the doubt
Vanish, as my seeds begin to sprout
In due time
