Lost somewhere in the
multitudes of my thoughts,
vague memories,
of a serene time,
or was that a dream?
Take me back Lord
to that place,
even if I imagined it.
You were there
and we were as one.
Nothing could separate us,
I felt safe so sure of me,
us,I can't remember that
other people existed there.
You loved me as I was,
you didn't mind my insecurities
or weaknesses
they did not chase you away
neither did my sins
which were many.
I recall growing stronger
learning to walk
I wanted so bad to impress you
to show you
how well I could walk,
I started to walk so fast
before long I was running
running,running,running
until
I ran so fast and so far
I turned to see you
but you were gone.
I was strong now
I felt brave
I'll remember all
that you taught me,
I'll make you proud of me
and then I'll return,
you'll see.
Where was I running to?
Was it all a dream
Could there be such a place?
Does a life that
is so intertwined with you
really exist?
A life that
because of you
pain can be endured,
tears can be counted as precious,
and fear can be driven
into the depths of the sea,
Lord if this was not
an illusion in my mind
then take me back to
where we began.
