Spiritual Journey Poem by Jimmy L. Lyons

This is the song of my life; I want to do this right.
I wish it were like the mountains, drinking from cool clear fountains;
but my life is cold, and the mess I'm in is getting old.

I don't want to go through the hurt; I need to get back to church.
I don't want to be thrown under the bus, or be left in somebody's dust.
Most people don't know how I feel, how badly I need to heal.

I just want to sing my song - been out in the storm for too, too long;
If this is my spiritual journey, I surely don't want to tweet it.
I'm so hungry for the Word; my prayers have got to be heard.

When Chaka Khan sings "Through the Fire" I feel my soul's desire,
is to somehow stop the pain, and to relieve some of my strain.
It's time to let go, let God, and start my spiritual journey.
