Navigator Poem by Danny Speicher

I never knew it was quite possible
To have within my mind the quantity
Of thoughts and emotions I have right now
I never knew I could feel so depressed
Yet, only to feel gratitude later
Or fear and hope bound in the same second
The world seems to be spinning faster now
Than I have ever felt it spin before
Lord, I try to find my anchor in You
I have never once felt so blessed and cursed
So cared and strong, lonely yet close to friends
Nor have I been so uncomfortable
Yet, here I stand, looking into the fog
Yearning to see the winding path's next curve
But no sight, to me, is known to its twists
So, now I call for my Navigator
The One who has taken my hand before
For, these woods, I cannot journey alone
