Burning pages,trade these ashes

Is there a greater power?

one which can't be defined by the laws of logic and science.

where miracles do happen and prayers answered.

As a child I grew up with bible stories impounded in my head.

and somehow inbetween memory verses and Sunday school,

my heart stopped listening .

religion lost its belief.

I've been gone for far too long,

drifted along for eons and

now,like a wayward soul..

I want that belief,

I need to believe..

"guide me back to the river I once turned my back from,

quench this thirst I so desire."
