Within And Without

Wallace Dean LaBenne

From within me to without you
Is a journey too hard to bear
The distance too far
The road too rough
The time too long
From without you to within me
Is a journey too vague to know
The way too strange
The hope too lost
The faith too little
While without you within me
My heart is stopped
My wounds are raw
I'm cold and hungry
In darkness, alone and bewildered
