Poem about home (2013)

My body awakens, my soul thirsts

I long for You, I need You.

Wherefore shall I go other than in prayer

To worship and praise, that I may be worthy

Oh the longing in my heart

So deep I feel, to quiet and hush

No despair, nowhere else I dare to turn.

What I feel, never before have and had

To have not never again, in uttermost thanks

This deep craving never been so real, so unresting

I rejoice in Your Presence and long for It with my breath

My heart deepens, in depths I acquaint with.

Such a world so vast in its simplicity

Such love in its utmost purity

I rejoice in comfort and hope

That there is much awaiting.

Oh but how I long for It,

To no longer suffer and unchain

To untie and no longer vain

But to love and unite

To fortify and surrender

To unify and tender

To rejoice and rest

To love and be loved, to be home at last.
