Lost, Confused Or Tired? Poem by Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho

Is my path hidden from you?
Are my afflictions veiled to you?
Why is my soul discouraged thus?
Your presence is hidden from me
And your countenance veiled to me
I find no center in my daily living!
The pieces of my heart are scattered
The fragments no one can gather
I arise each day to gather up hope
To bind myself through the day
And through each moment’s task
But retire each night in shame
My tears are dry, my knees sore
My prayers uttered in silence
The words too heavy on my lip
I walk aimlessly, pondering
How I misread the directions!
Where I made the wrong turn!
How I ended up on this bent!
Where does this road lead me?
Am I just tired and discouraged?
Or have I completely lost my way?
Would you find me and lead me?
Would you lift your gaze upon me?
To glue these fragments together
To revive my feeble heart in hope
To beat again with strength and life
A joyous path into your presence
