I hear your call!
I hear it far away
I hear it break through this wall barricading us.
I want to view your face
I want to feel your warm embrace
I want to inhale your breath
I want to see the rainbow in your eyes
and the flash of your teeth as each crystal shines.
I hear your voice
I hear it beckoning, strong and loud
I hear your lapping call
I hear it coming through
invoking the ghost of a child.
My river's calling out too
Its ceaseless flow impels me to answer this
inevitable call.
Each passing day brings me nearer to this final call.
O incomprehensible God!
O nature's complex course!
Shall my pilot be my inborn stars to this final call to thee?
