A LITTLE DETOUR

 

a little dreaming made me whole 

my life chorused “Lord, save my soul”

I have lost efficiency in my trajectory 

I don’t want my life told as an odd story 

I have battled with my sanity day in day out 

my life now mirrors a deranged tout

my pulse pounds like the rhythm of a based drum

Lord! help me, don’t let me slum 

my soul choruses in dire grief 

a little prayer gives me relief 

my knees are scarred from kneeling 

I need soul purging, a thorough cleansing 

life’s charade has brought me to a dead-lock 

why did I stray away from his flock?

my white fleece has long been stained 

I hoped for it to clean, but it never rained 

a little detour led me to my downfall 

I fell in a cage built with so much high walls 

I have journeyed far and strayed 

here I am, so fray 

shine your light on me once more 

I plead from my deep down core 

I will someday rise again like phoenix 

and be reborn into a new scenic
