Broken Compass

Written originally around the time of 2001 when in the midst of spiritual advisement

The wind is thick
my breath shall cease
among them all
I find no peace

And to the south
I gaze awhile
For only but
a country mile

The tide is in
No mercy I
Can feel the pain
So some would die

A chosen path
would close the door
Only to be
Nothing more

And to the North
The mountains steep
The streams of love
Bow down and weep

There is no tide
Amongst the hills
No more the light
That ends the chills

In darkened valley
Cold and bare
To find myself
a standing there

And to the east
Oh morning sun
To melt away
What cold has done

To freeze a life
And stop the time
For one who sings
an endless rhyme.

The shadows cast
and angles set
that everyone
would soon forget

And in the west
the sun will sink
Before my soul
has lost the link

For you, my love
I wait for long
The time has come
This is our song
