Nixie ... Grope

Today's word is "Nixie" ... NIK-see ... a letter or parcel that is undeliverable by the post office because of a faulty or illegible address. (dictionary.com)

Grope
Searching along the wall,
Looking for a gate,
Lost as a nixie in the mail,
With an undetermined fate.

Observing all the signposts,
For one that points toward home,
Sure there is a secret,
That will bring shalom.

Will is not enough,
To light the darkened way,
But, love can be trusted,
To come, and guide and stay.
