The Sojourner's Sailor

Because life is a finite infinity that has and always will remain a mystery

so to figure out my path in this maze of the mortal

I need guidance from a source of knowledge that remains immortal.

Because hope though it springs eternal,

can only flourish if its flame is fired from a source that isn't internal

so to give myself the energy to carry on one more day

I look to one whose track record surpasses more than just the ordinary.

Therefore my kind of belief causes me to  hold on a little longer because I believe in one who is unimaginably stronger.

Because in my innate imperfection,

I look to one who is perfection itself

so for every one of my undoings

my creator is a being capable of re-doing, re-building and re-creating 

me into an earthling that is the greatest that ever was and will be

based on my hidden strengths, despite my inherent weakness.

Because I am a wanderer,

and sometimes I wander far from the truth.

So I seek one who is patience personified and is able to forgive ceaselessly.

So the one who I believe in waits.

Not just for me but for my kind,

mankind.

I therefore look to the father of time.

I believe in a creator who created everything in its entirety.

The inventor of diversity,

and therefore I choose  a life that celebrates beauty.

 I believe in a father that provides everything

The master giver

therefore I choose a life of being the eternally grateful and humble receipient.

I believe in all-knowing guide who understands this maze of life better than I ever will

therefore I submit myself in my simple state as a sojourner struggling to make sense of everything.

Reluctant though I may be to fully release the reigns,

I still remain a mortal who has learnt to believe in an Indomitable  Immortal to safely sail me in my journey.
