Shameless Cry
Hopes so bright, they all but blind me.
Look - I cast two shadows, falling
one before and one behind me:
Future, past and present calling.
Grace, release me from my heart-load.
Change and Choices leave me shaken.
Shall I sigh at every crossroad,
mourning for the path not taken?
Just for now, I'll cease reflection,
raise my hands, and renounce my guessing!
Lest I drown in self-examination,
I'll surrender to the blessing.
