The journey goes on with slight changes,
in the simple moments, that's all it takes,
To rearrange life's strangest emotions,
God makes compensation for decisions.
That makes me turn to the right side,
where before I chose the left to divide
But circumstances altered my choices,
Life can bring relief, or leave deadly devices.
God made life to live with his Spirit,
and put upon us all this complicated limit.
With confusing purposes of the reasoning mind,
who will guide the truth with advice in time?
I search for the creator that has designed this enigma,
He leaves me puzzled considering a tangled stigma.
Layers of obstacles that I am stumbling over,
And takes pity to prevent me fumbling once more.
when time grows short to the days that are apart,
they sometimes enjoy a moment solitude of heart.
many can be robbed of love which was delightful,
from superior people with feelings of the soul.
After unclear vision, my faith is tried and tested,
With contorted answers, time and talent invested,
the deepest emotions always show itself in silence,
from its closed mouths, no guile is in residence.
I need God to pave the way from every direction,
walking forward with every step of determination.

Gerry, you might find it helpful to immerse yourself in good contemporary poetry, that is, if you're truly interested in improving as a poet. This poem contains a few good lines, but mostly these life lessons are ineffectual verse because your decision to rhyme forces too many lines into awkwardness (when time grows short to the days that are apart, /they sometimes enjoy a moment solitude of heart.)
