The steps taken
towards the kingdom of grace,
take you further away.
You've sensed this
so well,
so very heavy
your footsteps as you
walk away.
From the very birthplace,
the very beginning
of that first breath taken
and given
to all beings.
You've felt this,
so very true
yet so very stubbornly
you deny,
the tugging that
pulls at your heartstrings.
The yearning to return,
to turn back towards home,
towards the very place
you have always been,
the place
you have never left.
This beating
of your heart,
echoes eternal melodies.
Melodies, unclaimed,
yet reverberate your
very being.
