Dillip, you've added yet another Kerouac Project poem to your favourites. It shows me that I'm on the right track. Thx so very much!

If you can call yourself a troubled soul you are no longer a lost soul. That spiritual light you lost sight of, is still shining out there. Look harder, ask for Jesus's help, He's waiting for your first move - toward Him. And that will be the last time you will have move alone. Henceforth you walk with Jesus. Promise.

Daniel, I believe that Kerouac was walking with Jesus. At times, he lost sight of it. As always, your feedback is invaluable! Thanks so much!

People do need a direction to make sense of life; being aimless must be a terrible place to be..

Carl, in the early stages of Kerouac's life, it was extremely terrible because of his great talent as a football star. Had he a different coach, he might have chosen football as a career path.

Perfectly worded after having looked in the mirror. Thank you for sharing this selfportrait I do hope eagerly you are NOW no more a troubled soul, Richard. IF this is not true, I apologize, Poet! In any case I have enjoyed your suitable lines from the past, an amazing confession poem. GBU, Richard. A 10 and a myriad more.

Sylvia, I sincerely appreciate your sentiments. However, the troubled soul is Jack Kerouac. I am writing a book of poetry about his spirituality. To make it as realistic as possible, I have employed the first person singular tense. I am happy that you have enjoyed my poetry. The feeling is mutual.
