The Destined Path

By Ruhudeen Ali
6/9/12

I wandered around this land feeling lost, confused
not knowing how to find my path
searching for a lost road, I assumed,
I might make a new track

Many travel on their paths with confidence
not looking back or around for signs
relying completely on self-competence
guided by their unfaltering minds

It's no wonder then, that I am the one lost
For in truth, I no longer have that confidence
I once loved to hear myself talk
but now I see behind the veil of pretense

Blinded, I fell off my road
left to wander in the wilderness 
my mind began to mold
and my situation looked hopeless

'Til one day I realized the Lord's Call
I understood why I was so confused
He was reaching out to me all along
this bemusement was just a ruse

Now I know I cannot wander aimlessly
I must follow the map given to me
To come back to the Lord's path
I shall sacrifice ego happily

So fellow traveler, I say to you
do you still think you follow your own way?
the path is really only one, though it seems as two
our paths converge with His anyway, remember Judgment Day.
