"Compelled To Wander"
 by Alice Bateman
COMPELLED TO WANDER

I am compelled to wander

Down paths I do not choose

You summon, and I wander

I try to read the clues



The clues that You lay out for me

That tell me where to go

And when I'm in the right place

You somehow let me know



I feel I'm in the right place

I feel it is the time

For something cataclysmic

For something undefined



I know You're here

I welcome You

With open arms and heart



I know You will tell me

Where it is

That I should start

{In case you might not be aware of it, when I use the capital
 letter on words such as Him and You, I am referring to God, not a
 mortal person.}
