Homesick

Did we choose

This physical realm?

We can experience

So very much here

Emotional, physical pain

Loss, separation

So much agony at times

It can feel as if

The heartbreak

Will never end

But what if that

Was the plan all along?

To be in these

Fragile little bodies

Where life can be

Snatched away

In an instant

How else could we grow?

In tenderness

In wisdom

Have reverance for

Each new day

Experience all of our

Frustrating limitations

Yet how much more

Encounter Spirit

In all His limitlessness
