The Fog of Mourning Light

Through the fog of worry and fear,
shivering and cold, I squint and peer
In the growing distance a foggy light appears
A voice beckons and calls me near,
but I, shivering and cold, know only fear
I am lost, weak, unable to steer
My eyes have forgotten life without a tear
My ears confuse the words they hear
From afar the voice calls me near,
declaring the way is open and clear; Â Â Â
pay no mind to how the darkness appears
I need no strength for this stretching frontier
If only I walk and move with cheer,
my every worry and foggy fear
fade to nothing, a transparent veneer
The voice it calls and beckons me near—
bids me walk straight and never veer
It begs me always, to faith adhere
When bathed in light, the darkness is clear
Those who leave worry and fear;
those who trust and persevere
shall win the greatest prize premier
If only I walk and move with cheer
Â
But my ears confuse the sounds they hear
Troubles beg to reappear
when anxious thoughts remain unclear
The lingering fog of worry and fear
looms heavy and blocks my harried peer
Though, still a voice calls me near
to a towering place of shimmering sheer
where worry and troubles never appear
free from darkness and crying tears
Â
Still, a voice calls me near
to a place beyond worry and fear
