+N+ Compass +S+
My compass may be broken...
seems I'm drifting south...
destruction looming on the horizon,
headed straight for its ugly mouth.
Morality has been on the bend,
just an aimless, wayward sailor--Β
poor choices defining the journey
with rationality a faithful tailor.
Hope wanes like a fleeting breeze,

into the dark abyss;
searching desperately for direction
before a life becomes remiss.
Then a silent beacon screams loudly,
beckoning with persuasive force...
moving the needle northward,
helping alter the mangled course.
Once the path has been righted,
the charted future seems far less grim,
navigation turned over to the captain
as I travel willingly with Him.

When we relinquish the wheel of our mortal vessel to allow God to be our pilot, it matters very little how broken our compass may or may not be, Jacki.
Life's waterways are filled with craggy cliffs and danger. But God is our beacon of guiding light even through our darkest hour.
With Him as our pilot, or Captain, and we as His trusty First Mate, He will never steer us wrong.

You are so right, Dean!Β Thank you for the comments.Β It's sometimes difficult to relinquish our "Captain" status to the good Lord and trust in His plan, but He always knows best and can see the whole landscape.Β Have a great day and happy writing!*!*!

We all need a sense of direction which equates to something significant. If we don't have this we shut down unable to fulfill our urge to be involved in a worthwhile project. You grasp the rationale behind the realities of life knowing how important it is to find the right position for the soul to flourish.
You understand so well what is the imperative and what is the motivation of deeper comprehension, with aspiration and inspiration filling the void of conscious connection to this plain when all appears lost.
You have the heart to ascertain priority and organizational capability in practical terms to gain reward both spiritual and physical.
There is a truly outstanding integrity to this enhanced reflection deepening forces that bring light to grey concern. Well done, on this course !!Β :)
Keep up the good work.
Warm wishes !
Take care.
Richard, great to hear from you!!Β Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts...Β I'm not out here as much as I would like to be, but writing is something that brings release, satisfaction, and a type of therapy.Β Happy writing!*!*!
