    Ichnos
    -
    I see but Your pale shadow
    Reaching for my hand
    Yet I faced my sorrows
    Instead of the joys of your plans
    -
    I walk on
    Following someone elses steps
    Or was I following my own,
    Instead of tracing Your treads?
    -
    I am lost
    Asking directions where to lead
    I place my head on boasts
    When its Your words I should read
    -
    I see You bearing your cross
    But I turn my head away
    I place everything and toss
    Dreaming of things I may
    -
    You said, I’d never walk alone
    With faith, hope and love
    Trying to understand
    These footprints I see on the sand
    -
    Will You reach for my arm again
    Take my hand, please!
    My efforts to be found is in vain
    On unending tides and seas
    -
    Lead me, Oh Lord
    Show me the way
    These steps are for nothing
    Without your guidance everyday

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
