My Spiritual Journey

This journey is long
This journey is mine
It started as a grain of sand
At the beginning of time

Obstacles and challenges
Obstruct my way
I adhere to the principles
That guide me day by day

Belief in a purpose
Beyond my earthly view
The resolve of my convictions
Is shared by a few

Family, friends and teachers
All play their part
Together with knowing
What feels right in my heart

Mindful of purposes
I am yet to find
I walk through the labyrinth
The prison of time

Thanks to those who've helped me
And those who have not
For your challenges and support
Have made me what I am not

My hope is to one day share my soul
With all I may encounter
So that my fellow travellers
May flourish and not flounder

And so my journey continues
Just as it starts
A small spark of light
Not eclipsed by the dark
