When You Come Home

to yourself, 

past the density of doubts,

over muddy rocks of fear,

beyond those merciless

longings to be somebody

more than just another

everywhere anybody,

may you enter the vast,

green paradise of God

where there’s nothing

to appease, nothing

to hide, nothing

to pretend, just

the hand of Christ

pushing away the darkness

as the sound of your true name

grows louder every second.
