My Steps

I raise my eyes to the sky, to you my Lord.
For I am You, we are one, my path to explore.
Not sure, I'm not sure where I will land, if I ever will.
Traveling through life with an obscure view of the shore.

Covered by blue hues of happiness that seem endless.
Like the sea, that covers the earth the waters … blues and greens.
And yet,
As I look out and under it, I see, I feel a passion beyond the sea.
A depth of character that exceeds that which, You instilled in me.

Shades of gray follow my life, like rays of sun falling on earth.
Soaking up evil, my flesh a sponge a greed, I exceed my bounds.
Though there's no envy, just a spirit, it seeks to reclaim me.
A love, a depth not yet discovered, Oh Lord my passion to serve thee.

A calling not known, not known to me, I search for my place.
When death came knocking, the shots fired, fired towards my face.
To my knees the tears engulf me, like the blue green face of the sea.
I see, the calling that God laid gently, and particularly, for me.
