I took the first step with great enthusiasm
A constant burst of joy crackling in my bosom
I felt one with the world
Seeing a new meaning in whatever was being hurled
I felt deep love but for no one in particular
The feeling taking over me as in a stupor
Only for the going to get really tough
The trials began soon after
With anger, frustration and disappointment taking away the luster.
I turned back and decided to give up this chase
Only to lose my way completely in this maze
I wanted to come back and make amends
But I guess I was not prepared to tread the bends
Time passed and I walked alone
Not realizing that your hold over me has only grown
I sheepishly turned and came back to you
You smiled and held my hand to take me through
I am here and the world is here
Nothing has changed but you promised to keep me near
So I surrender to you with all my heart
Grant me the eyes to clearly see your art.
