Allusion Poem - Rough Draft

THIS POEM IS RELATED TO THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SHEEP.


As I wander far from my refuge,

I walk into a valley of darkness.

I start to panic.

I begin to call out for help,

But its feels as if my voice is mute.


I am lost.


I try to find my way back to the light,

But somehow, I tend to fall back into the dark abyss.

I hear a voice calling out to me,

But I just ignore it.


I am searching.


I need to change my ways.

I need to open my heart more widely.

I need to find my way back home.

I need help.


I am needy.


A voice calls out again.

I choose to finally listen.

I hear the voice say come home.

I see a bright light appear.

I walk into the light.


I am home.
