Adrift somewhere


A
DOOR just opened on a street—
I, lost, was passing by—
An instant’s width of warmth disclosed,
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I, 5
I, lost, was passing by,—
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.

There may be an Emily Dickinson poem for every emotion and circumstance I experience...

...where am I?

I don't know what His voice is saying.
I thought I knew,
and I worked so hard to follow.
But the door is no longer as obviously open,
and I am 'doubly lost.'

I am waiting on You!
There is a question mark in my mind as I do so,
but I am waiting on You.
Could You please give me joy in this?
Descend upon me and make my soul be still?
