Welcome Home

One day indeed 
our time will come to pass
In the vastness of oceans
the last ripple
last crash.

As our final wave falls
on the shore of our life
whose feet will it wash onto
whose heart will it sway.
Your world settles in the sand
swirls, dances 
and fades.

As it lies still for a instant
as your fate is contemplated
your worth is weighed.
In suspended animation
your soul sparkles
your spirit soars.

As you are swept into a vastness
you could never image
by no means know.
In the world of the ocean

You felt small, meek, and insecure.
But in this place we call paradise
Your pain is not welcome.

It is cast out into oblivion
It will perish in the end.
Not knowing just why
But you know all too well
this is where you came to be
this where you belong.

You have suffered 
you have failed
with devastating ease.
You had given up hope
in all that you have become.

Yet here you stand
In the glow of his love
And all that you are
Is all that he created you to be.

You are strength
You are light
You are joy
You are peace.
You are all that he made you
You all that he sees.
