lost

as dawns early light bathes a new day,
showered in golden rays,
on all creation where dew drops lay,
i perceive perfection's sway,

as the sun hangs overhead,
i am neither weary nor do i dread,
it guides me, i know i am in good stead,
to illuminate my walk, a purpose played,

as dusk calls an end to the day,
i gaze upon this awesome display,
the moment fleeing to a place far away,
i watch as the night triumphs over the day,

as darkness claims the night,
i stand in the pale moonlight,
i kneel beneath the starry twilight,
i am broken and contrite,

my head hung low, my gaze upon the ground,
though the gloom circles around,
to it i am not bound,
because in You i am no longer lost, i am found,
