Destination

I spent a lifetime trying to arrive
to a destination, my destiny.
Years of present time gone by.
I won’t be robbed of my present,
not this time. I will believe.
I will live. I will have faith.

Even as I sail in darkened waters,
and the lighthouse sheds no light.
Even as I turn into a blind man,
and I can only trust my heart.
The compass knows the destination.
I never left. Here, I always was.
