I cannot and I dare not
venture out into the dark alone...
I need a hand to guard and guide
A greater wisdom than my own...
I need a shepherd
who knows the traps n pitfalls on the way
One whom I can trust to lead me safely
home by night and day.
One who sees the secret snare
and walks ahead the path to show.
Alone I stray and lose my way.
Alone I know not where to go...
I cannot and I dare not
venture out into the dark alone...
Stupidity is not that distant away from daredevilness...when we step out in 'dark', as you said and said well, we always 'need a hand to guard and guide'...good meaningful write, Shweta..10.
such wonderful poems bring their own light............................ John
this is a really great poem! .. the only thing i would say is the spelling of 'the'.. the 'd' kind of throws the poem off... but the poem itself is amazing.10++
Yes one needs shepherd but shepherd must be heavenly not earthly.....................Good Write.........
This is the earlier stage in the path of attaining wisdom.........all seekers of knowledge go through. But realizing that we need a Guru itself shows that the person has already reached the path...............What happens in the penultimate stage...........if u so wish........you may read my poem JEEVANMUKTHA. Very good poem........in fact more than a poem......wisdom
hi.....only a person with great wisdom can speak about such a greater wisdom so you already have that my friend......
It is wise to have help, ateacher to guide us through our difficulties. You write very well. 10+
