Shadows in the Mist

A circle may connect but not complete,
few times do we bring closure to a story,
our friends, our family even, we just meet
briefly, part way in life, then on to glory.

Who really knows us, Lord, but only You,
with others we’re mere shadows in the mist,
if we make no attempt to know You too,
who’s left in life that cannot be dismissed?

We seek to find one love that will survive,
O lucky us, they’re with us for a while,
but comes the time when they’re no more alive,
we’re left with but the memory of their smile.

So many, Lord, alone and lost, abound
with no one left, unless Your love’s around.
