God was there
from the very beginning
but I knew Him not
and I turned away
I looked at the world
and beheld its splendor
til that same splendor
snatched me
and I was thrown
amidst its cold brightness
and I yearned for the warmth of home
In despair I wept
and I cried out to my God:
Rescue me for I desire not these things
and I will have none of this beauty
if only to be back in your arms
And my God heard me
and ran to me
and snatched me away from the world
and took me even
within His heart
Therein only
did I find joy
and peace
and LOVE
atlast!
