Close your eyes
Imagine a black-tarred stretch
Leading to an infinate beyond
Tress line the sides
With leaves of every warm colour
Put yourself in this common picture
Ready yourself to walk the journey ahead

Now see yourself
In your most comfortable clothes
Nothing in your arms
Not even a watch on your wrist
You take a deep breath
This is it
The journey you've longed to take
Going as far as you can to reach
A little piece of heaven

Don't need no belongings
Don't need no necessities
Just a heart full of faith
Faith in His guidance, providence, strength
Faith in His plan and His constant love

As you walk along
Breathing in His beauty
Swinging your hands
Humming a friendly tune
The road suddenly gets a little steeper
The tar a little rougher

The habit of anxiousness
Creeps in slowly
Doubts and questions follow
I begin to wrestle my God for a bit

That's when i give up
I give up my heart, my soul
My fate to Him
Then i feel light,
Suddenly so very light
I bounce to the tune of the wind

All along the way
Pondering, meditating on His words surfacing
I smile upon hearing a familiar voice
He whispers
"My child, look ahead.
I have carried you back.
Welcome home!"
