splash my countenance
and I am awakened
out of my ignorant stupor.
Scores of queries
buried deep
in the squalor of a laid back existence
begin to torture my very soul.
"What is writ in my destiny?"
"Why can't I see beyond the fog of life?"
Some incomplete goal
lies awaiting my knock
on its beckoning door
and I am helpless
oblivious of that window
to hope and fulfillment.
Cobwebs of ignorance,
dust of arrogance
lie untouched
wrenching my sudden thoughts
of reflection and realization.
Oh God! I beseech You
To show me the Way!
