Following My Path

By John Swofford

Following My Path is a lyrical journey through love, loss, and faith. Written in verse both intimate and expansive, it captures the restless movement of a soul seeking meaning. The speaker confronts questions of identity, mortality, and redemption, weaving together themes of earthly longing and spiritual vision. Dreams, relationships, and cosmic imagery blend into a tapestry that is at once personal and universal.
The work does not shy away from struggle. It explores the tensions between tenderness and conflict, doubt and conviction, devotion and rebellion. Through shifting voices-sometimes speaking to a beloved, sometimes to God, sometimes inward-the verses trace the complexity of human experience while always pointing forward, toward growth and renewal.
What makes Following My Path compelling is its persistence. The speaker acknowledges betrayal, fear, and loss, yet continues to walk, to wonder, and to believe. This endurance, expressed in language that is raw and soaring, gives the work its emotional depth and spiritual resonance.
More than a collection of poems, it is a meditation, a prayer, and a testimony. Vulnerable yet unyielding, it invites readers to share in the search for light, reminding us that even in shadow, the path is worth following.
