stray vilanelle

As I walk the path to home alone 

I fear that I will lose my way

So I walk the path of shadow 


I will forget all that I know

The words that you taught me to pray

As I walk the path to home alone .


My cloudy eyes draped in woe

Can hardly even see the way

So I walk the path of shadow


Will fear my faith in you restore

Will it tell me what words to say 

As I walk the path to home alone 


If I called would you show

Me the way? Ask me to stay? (What would you say)

If I walk the path of shadow


As I walk the path to home alone 

What if I just let it go 

And through the streets decide to stray 

Walking the path of shadow
