*A Long Golden Braid*(un-edited)

I walk this lonely road of life alone
I walk in the cold of darkness
Carried by my feet that trip over themselves
As I fall to my knees I fell the stinging pavement
Rip me apart like rubbing a wet tissue on sand paper
And then I feel the ground rise to hit my face
As I strain my neck to lift my head
I feel the rocks fall out of the imprints they have made on my face
Do I bother to stand up again?
Or do I just lie here
Lifeless
Hoping something will change
Hoping a light will guild me to a better path
A better life
But these are just dreams
Things I can never grasp
So I stand up
Brush off my knees
And wipe the blood from my eyes
And start to walk again
I look upon my hands
Bruised and beaten
Not only by this journey
But from other journeys
With other lifeless people
Picking them up when they stumble to the ground
Only to have them kick down again
And run off to there own journey
And I walk never looking back
Look at these hands
They scream in pain
They long to be held
They long to be used
And not to be kicked around
I caught my own feet again
And I have once again agonizingly said hello to the street
I lie here think, hoping, praying
Then amidst all this darkness
Comes forth a great light
Like one I have never witness
It lights up the area around me
It’s like a star
Nah, not a star but an angel
One sent to save me from the darkness
Long flowing hair
And two blue eyes that light up the path ahead
As a stand up
I fill fingers slide in between mine own
And my hands scream out
But this is a different scream
This is a scream off joy
For it now has a goal
And it now it’s being healed by you
For you have led me to a better path
One in which I can see
I float above this gentle road of life with you
I am no longer walking alone
Carried by your love that is pure
I shall never fall again
