I KNOW YOU

Rising to a familiar door
I knew I had no key
No way to get in
Except resonance within me
 
I rose, and home called
I drew near to what I knew
Like a homeland left behind
The ground itself running through

....code

There you were, waiting
As though I had just stepped away
That slay-me smile, welcoming
This time, I get to stay

I looked around at the walls
Accepting that I am fully known
I could return to my origin
Because my essence had grown

...aware

Spiritual and natural reunited
In the banquet hall for a feast
Together, we pierced it with the TRUTH
And finally slayed the BEAST

The family is gathered all around
Singing and dancing in HIS GLORY
For eternity, living saints will proclaim
LOVE unfolds the purity of HIS story

...in heart
