DARKENED VALLEYS

The path of life is lonely,
The mountains loom so high,
The valleys deep in which I see,
The end I don’t see nigh.

I raise my hands to heaven seek,
I reach to touch the sky,
I look for rainbows in the rain,
I search for reasons why.

Within the cave I’ve found within,
I search for inner peace,
I seek to find the truth therein,
That brings the heart release.

Through valleys, God goes with me,
Up mountains, he is there,
Yet lonely is the walk through life,
So vast my souls’ despair.

I reach to touch his spirit,
To ease my troubled heart,
I falter through the shattered glass
That tears my soul apart.

Be still, he says, be still your heart,
Yet storms, they rage, they roar,
I try to hide within the eye,
But peace is found no more.
