You called me when I was on the road.  
I have fallen behind –
    how can I catch up?  
   
Night has fallen.  
I no longer see the silhouette of the path  
    through the woods.  
   
Please, I am lost –
    respond to my call.  
        I am afraid.  
   
I fear I go in circles.  
    I move farther away from You.  
I sense you close by  
    and yet  
        I fear  
        perhaps  
        tomorrow  
        at dawn  
I remain  
    but  
        You are gone.
