The Pilgrimage

As dawn melted my heart
 I opened up my eyes
 Red roses from above
 Were planted inside of me and when the never fading love
 Was established in my heart
 My traveling days began
 I walked beside the constantly flowing
 Spring of clear water
 Always ready to slaked my thirst
 And give me peace and strength
 I ran towards the fields
 Inviting me to let my tiered soul rest
 How sweet they were
 Those pastures of green
 A smell of life filled the air
 And the sun gave constant energy
 To my once dead spirit
 The magnificence of this paradise
 Told a wonderful tale about a creation
 Taking place since times immemorial
 I could hear the tranquil whisper:
 "Come closer to me, beloved one"
 The Spirit's voiced touched my ears with love and care
 I continued the path
 And stepped inside the forest
 Still hearing the whisper: "Come closer to me..."
 But suddenly the beautiful trees
 And days light turned
 Into a landscape of thorn and fog
 Soon I was lost in an unknown wilderness
 And there was no end to my fright
 Tears ran down my mourned face
 And the pain showed no mercy
 There I was, a helpless and frightened child
 At last I fell down on my knees in prayer
 While feeling the despair
 Coming closer and closer
 "Father, help me out of here", I screamed
 But no answer was heard
 "See my pain..." no one there
 I became a lonely prisoner
 Bound by chains of doubt
 Nowhere could I find the meaning of things happening to me
 At day I stood screaming, crying and praying
 And at night I lay shaking in terrible helplessness
 Finally, all my power was gone
 And I nearly gave up it all
 With my last strength I lifted
 My face towards heaven and cried it out:
 "Father, Thy will be done, and not mine"
 Then I felt in a total less of power
 Awaiting the arrival of another frozen night.
