Sojourning

Father wipe my eyes clean
Do not let me dream away
Do not let me be dismayed

Like a current of the river tide
With swift and such might
Or eager with only lies

Wishful the wandering heart
Blissful the ignorant smart
Fearful the innocuous shard

Hold me down with reason
Calm me in my peace
Shake me in my confidence

I'm not holding my breath
Not seeking the signs
No compromise

A learners game to play
Some how unsettling
continues sojourning
