Coming Home (RC)

When galaxies spiral out of control
and worlds get whirled about,
When skies crash land
and land crashes into the ocean,
When mountains fall
and falls cease their flow,
When birds stop singing
and heros are unsung,
When leaves all fall
and friends all leave,
When hearts are weak
and weakness kills:
Coming home

They are coming home. It is all these apocolyptic events that signal their coming home. When the world falls apart, it is just then that we see God at work. Sometimes it takes catastrophe to bring us home to Him. That's sort of what I'm trying to get at with this poem.
