THE ROAD BEYOND
I looked within to find myself
And found I'd lost my way,
Along some lonely road beyond
On which I'd fallen prey,
To villanous visions of doubt and delusion
Which haunt that troubled path,
To drive their victims further inward
To the darkest prison of self.
But a siren song of hope, somehow
Broke through the hideous din
Of criticism and self-doubt
That kept me prisoned within.
Encouraging me to turn about
Though I did not know the way
Outward, ever outward
Toward the light of day.
And there I found my neighbor
Yet even more than he,
In serving him in loving labor
There discovered me.
