Eden

Eden...
perfect place of tranquility and beauty
but all too quickly marred by sin
leaving me with only Word-pictures
of heaven on earth.
Amidst the brokenness of this world
I struggle,
     strive to endure,
          seek to truly live...
because I too am broken. 

I'm asking...for more.
More of Your wind in my sails,
Your Son to light my path,
Your voice to break the silence,
Your touch when I grow weary,
Your hand to brush away the tears
Your eyes to see glimpses of Eden...
     here and now,
until one day I awaken with the
dawn's new light, and find that
I am...home."
