Some journey in the dark
Beset and benighted with the cares of the world
Some journey in ignorance
Refusing to look up to the Source of Light
Some walk backwards
Confused about direction or aim or purpose or destination
Some walk tangentially
In a straight course, but not on target
Some travel lightly
Carrying only what they need
Some travel with great burdens
Having the world on their shoulders
Some hold firm to the iron rod
Able to withstand the inevitable buffets and darkness
Some let go
Finding themselves wandering without vision or foundation
Some weather storms
Resilient and strong and persevering
Some fall victim
Pierced with shafts in the whirlwind
All are children
Of the same Father
Some overcome
Some succumb
For all this, his anger is not turned away
But his hand is stretched out still.
