Corridors

Now awake, my inner fire
 As an image clouds the view
 Giving way under your forceful intent
 Lost in endless corridors
 I try to move ahead, just to be swept away in the undertow
 The depths are all I seem to know
 Arrogant, self-righteous power
 Camouflaged in noble ways
 Fear and love now blur - as logic turns around
 Deep inside the corridors
 Empty lies tell me drowning is the easy way to go
 I almost think sometimes I would try
 Could I but skip past all my other lives
 Dear God, please let me go
 Don't make me have to do this all over again
 Weakened protests disintegrate
 In the labyrinth of your world
 Have I let your cruel agenda
 Have its way with me?
 As the heavens sing life's praise
 From a far horizon
 Soon may I see light streaming in to
 Brighten the paths of dreams I would choose
 Life's compassion never leaves
 And so sets mercy on its course
 Softly spoken riddles urging me back
 Into endless corridors
 The vastness of the tide tosses me like leaves before the autumn wind
 But who determines where I land?
 The choices in my hand give me courage now to walk the path alone
 Through the crossroads of life, I will try
 Weakened protests disintegrate
 In the labyrinth of your world
 Have I let your cruel agenda
 Have its way with me?
 As the heavens sing life's praise
 From a far horizon
 Soon may I see light streaming in to
 Brighten the paths of dreams I would choose
 Walking, doorways
 I'm walking through darkened doorways
 And I can see a new horizon
 Lifting my eyes to see every step I take
