Odyssey Unknown

My soul is moving forward

Towards an Odyssey unknown

The destination certain-

And surely far from home.

Many Rivers yet to cross

And mountains high to climb

Whose paths held secret deep in

The weathered hands of time.

When the valleys stretch beyond

My preferred length of stay

emotions will strain against

what’s given for today.

Then my thoughts begin to roam

And long to jump ahead

To what lies behind the next

mountain or river bend.

This journey long beholding

Can weary heart and mind

Yet held within Savior’s gaze

Staves off the daily grind.

Now as my soul moves forward

Towards this Odyssey unknown

I find my sole Companion

Has set my heart at home.

Love entwined two separate Souls

Mortal merged with Divine

I find myself held in Him

No longer bound by time.

My eternity is now

Found in revelation

That the Odyssey Himself

Is the destination.
