Exchanging Exile For Homecoming

Frustrated wanderings- I wont forget my aim
Not a measuring stick, but the smile of One King
With head held high, Forward I go
See I wont stay here long, its not my home.

Tripping on the ruts along this twisting road
I brush myself off, Its okay they don't know.
Whether vintage, average or the "next big thing"
A time will come where all will see-

That no matter our rank- this life is an excursion
Exchanging exile for a homecoming.

Hesitant Seedling

Covered in mud

thats all I have known

i try to stay small

no threat approaches that way.

Keep it inside

no one can see

i dont even understand what is there

The stretch hurts

the preasure from inside-

it tries to break through

Why now?

ive never betrayed my call

bureid deep, not bothering anyone

But they say the cold is leaving

i hear rumours of a light to come

they break.

Theyre weak.

insides now spewed out

they stretch up to the unknown

Im losing my grasp

then it happens

with a stab from inside

My protecion is broken

as I looked down all was black

but up I felt welcoming call

Cautious and begrudging I move

the mud was now more gritty

i felt it scratching at my skin

Until my first breath of sun

my lungs expanded

fear gripped my chest

But I opened my eyes

greeted by a world

i never knew it was here

Danger and growth

a risk now at each side

but before, all i knew was mud

I allow the piercing expansion

i trust the rain

i breathe the light

A petal blooms

covered in sun

I never wouldve known
