Analysis of Where Am I?
Carla J Suggs 1953 (CA)
Where am I in this life of confusion and misunderstandings?
Where is the clarity of purpose, the Golden Path, the vision?
Where is the love of my life that stands in the shadows of the future?
Why do I not see what lies before me?
Is this the joke of the Cosmos, to be blind and deaf to my surroundings?
On the other hand, am I not supposed to be here, on this planet?
In this time when I feel so disharmonious, so out of place?
Why can I not tap into the Greater Forces as I have in lifetimes before?
Is this my test, to see if I can find my way?
Without a match to light, so I may see what lies ahead.
Then I must follow my heart and instincts and try
Not to shake my fists at the sky and scream to the gods...
