    Okay, I guess I’ll post in this thread when I remeber too! LOL.

    Here is my latest poem. Critique and enjoy!

     

    True North

    It seems that all the world has lost it’s directions
    All sorts of excuses, all kinds of protections
    Against the True North
    And here I am, lost in all this confusing chaos
    In the questions whirled, in a tempest toss’d

    Is all they like out there confusion in dense fog?
    Through muddy and dark sidetracks and switchbacks slog
    Where is a compass?
    I want to know where I am going on this road
    Am I on the narrow path to my abode?
    Where is a compass?

    There is a True North
    The never-changing absolute instruction
    The go-to, no substitute direction
    There is a North Star
    For them all both the great and the small
    The Right Path to take, and that’s all
    All that I will need
    My only True North

    On Earth there are really only two ways up above
    In search for destiny, quest for lasting love
    Searching for a home
    The One ends in eternal glory with the Son
    The others in punishment for what we’ve done

    To ride that highway that is wide most are hasty
    The faithful, those who take this road are in safety
    They have a Guide
    Those riding the way that is wide endanger
    The Wrath of the King, be to Him like a stranger
    Without a Guide

    Christ is a True North
    The never-changing absolute instruction
    The go-to, no substitute direction
    Christ is a North Star
    For them all both the great and the small
    The Right Path to take, and that’s all
    All that I will need
    My only True North

    Christ is my True North
    Confusion reigns, but He is my only guide
    To land me safely on the other side
    Christ is my North Star
    I’ll navigate this insanity
    With His help arrive at His city
    All that I will need
    My Only Truth North
