more hurriedly I scamper
to some how manage to catch up
then the world rushes in
and its like I am standing at the
precipice of something that once was
so remarkable
but now it is not
its a particularly strange feeling
this
this fond less fading
when did the rest of these inhabitants
get their cue
to come rushing in on me so
merciful Heaven
but I am grid locked in the masses
how will I manage to stand out
who will awake long enough to notice me
so many vague faces swim into my view
yet I see no one
no one of any recognizable value to me
then suddenly
a most singular feeling of such perfect
peace falls upon my worried shoulders
like a soft muslin shawl
all my thoughts mean not a thing to me
in this new perspective
mystical are the powers that absorb all
my questions
answers sit upon proud rocks of newly
found reason
and I find that I am everywhere all at
once
my eyes have gained new scope
and the masses around me start to mean
everything to my so very needful being
I embrace their collective mist
and I am stunningly reborn
perfect like freshly fallen dew
then a feeling that I label as a voice
asks
God is that you?
it is my voice
my feeling
I quickly realize
just as the reply
yes, it is I
comes booming back to me
almost simultaneous to my question
and I feel
finally REALLY FEEL
and as best as I can describe it
its as if the happiness of eighty eternities
has come to revisit my soul
and the love that is so complete around me
blesses me with the knowledge that alas I have
truly come home
I love you FATHER
I say as I step into his eternal embrace
and all has come full circle
