In the Dark

Walking...just walking along
No direction
No idea
Just a steady plodding gait

With naught but another walking beside
Plodding with the same gait
Only difference is this other knows the direction
I am but a follower

I have no ropes
To guide me
But only my trust and patience
To hold onto

How long can I last?
How far can I walk?
How stretched can my patience be?
Before I finally get a sense of the direction?

It is tough not knowing
I am trying my best
I have not complained as yet
But it is tough

I only pray that
My trust and patience holds out
And I will see a rainbow
At the end of the day

I can speak to few
And far in between
For nary but a few
Can understand

What is it that I cannot know?
Why is it that I cannot know?
I feel a slight doggedness
Walking in the dark

Tears I shed
Mark the path I have trodden upon
Sighs I give
Flutter away in the tunnel behind me

Hope and faith
Trust and patience
I hang onto you dearly now
Do not fail me

The path meanders slightly
From what I had drawn in my mind
Disappointment or sadness
I know not what I am feeling now

I seek to comprehend
But I cannot
For I do not know
For I am not a recipient of words

Will there be a culmination?
Will there be a anything?
I do not know again
For I am in the dark
