Trail of Thoughts

Addison's Walk, Magdalen College, Oxford. (Along the River Cherwell) 
This was a favorite walk of C.S. Lewis when he was a professor here.

Quiet is my soul, this evening still
Leads a trail of thoughts against my will
Perplexities seek the higher ground
When wondering and questions abound

Where is the answer, was I heard?
Now the question seems absurd
Deep inside I ask and plead
For something true I think I need

Yet how can I see the future clear
When this moment is about to disappear
And life is distorted by moods and days
Emotions voluted in countless ways

At last! The answer rests with Thee
Why ever before did I not see
It's simply part of the decision I bear
Following Jesus, and lifting a prayer
