[the journey]

words fail.
so do men.
and then we awaken
to realize that the answer we seek
the answer we crave
is not at all what we thought it would be
or where we thought it should be
the quest
will go to the highest heights
to the deepest of seas
and when we return
the Answer has been instep with us
guiding us, holding us, grace-ing us
loving us, taking us where we long
to go. with Him, to Him, for Him, from Him.
and that's where
we belong. the search
for home leads us straight
into His loving arms.
and there we find a place
where He cries with us,
and then He causes us to smile.
the journey of a thousand miles, ends
with a step towards Him.
