My Compass

You are my greatest north and due east,

My golden west and escaped south

You are my gravity, yet let me fly

You give me reason, and set me free

You are my warming sun and shining moon

My beginning dawn and concluding dusk

You give me breath, yet take it away

You are my shelter, and my Eden

You are my vital discovery and courageous sea

My radiant horizon and forgiving sky

You are the cure to my endless yearn

The key to my lock

When all directions point to you

You are my compass

Without you, I am lost

With you, I am found
