My Maker's Words

We stare at the sky in bewilderment, asking why?

Why are we here, why not there, why not some other time?

We stare at the horizon in utmost hopelessness, asking when?

When will our time come, when will I find my purpose?

We stare at the stars and wonder how far

----------------------

How deep into the abyss, this life could exist.

How lost we've become,

no matter how hard we run,

no matter how deceptive our 'fun.'

When the tide comes in,

When we decide to believe again,

We'll have already lost,

We'll be the same as Faust,

Having given our soul for pleasure,

Having lost every single one of our treasures.

And this life was meant for love, meant to give hope,

And still we have squandered that hope, and tied all thirteen knots on our rope,

Found a branch to hang our demise, all the while forgiveness comes in with the tide,

Too far on land we have separated our lives, and the horizon still calls for us to try,

To climb back down and run to the waves, glistening under the stares shinning gaze.

-----------------------

Come down, stop talking.

Stop pitying yourself, and stop mocking,

I gave you this life as a gift, and likewise you should use it,

For good, for inspiration and creation.

Don't throw away your life for pity's sake, make it worthy, do something great.

When you see me next after you are through, i'll ask, " So what did you do?"

And when you show me the life you lived, showing me all that you did,

I'll welcome you home, and let you pass through to his throne.

-------------------------

You'll be here, 

above the stars,

behind the horizon, 

beyond the sky,

Home at last, and forever.
