my Reason

 

 

The journey of a million miles my soul had walked alone,

Chasing the insatiable hunger, and looking for a home,

 

Lost and fearful I kept moving, running from my pain

Never going anywhere, then going there again

 

Looking out across the emptiness that my restless heart created,

I longed to still the yearning and render my hunger sated,

 

During this reflective pause, His Voice called to me,

Come My love your home is here, I will set you free,

 

Joy and apprehension collided in my mind,

As His words resonated commanding, certain, and kind

 

Trembling i stepped, into His Embrace, he wrapped round me like a vine,

my struggling ceasing as He announced "as of now you are Mine"

 

The longing voices hushed in silence so profound,

The hunger stopping instantly as i knelt, humbled upon the ground,

 

Surrendering my body, heart, and soul- along with all my pain,

In His bondage I found my solace and my shelter from the rain

 

My home is not a place, like a building, town or street,

It is the feeling that i get when i am kneeling at His feet

 

His eyes hold my spirit, when He gazes down at me,

The love so reassuring, in His bondage i am free

 

He shows me love unwavering, even if i do wrong,

He holds me close body and soul in my submission i am strong

 

So once again my Master, i pledge my love to you,

For Your Caring Guidance that always sees me through.
