O Lord by the mountain and sea!
What fate have you for me?
Hurl upon me death and tragedy!
Show me the light and engulf me in the dark,
I will fight for my humanity,
I will always rise with the lark
The path I tread may be laden with tears and blood,
But I walk it with pride
Even if I may be smeared in mud
With my hand on my heart and my heart at my lips
I walk
This life will not be bound between scripts
I rule my fate with a reign of steel
I will not falter and to no-one will I kneel
Walking on the Path of Fire
Beautiful Devotional piece of poetry depicting total submission to the Will of God. It reminded me of Psalm 23, both different in penning but same in essence. A powerful poem, well articulated and subtly written with spiritual insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON. ➕9

Addy, that's a poem, psalm...? You write well Addy. Just don't get it clear Show me the light and engulf me in the dark, . God bless you.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I started with the intention to write a poem, but it somewhat turned into something like a psalm unbeknownst to me. Also, that line show me the light and engulf me in the dark was somewhat of a challenge, give me adversary after getting me accustomed to peace/goodness. Honestly, most of this was extempore and I 'felt' it rather than think about meaning, so most of the poem is open to interpretation.
