A Distant Shore

As the touch of Heaven’s fire
Whispered down my face
I stood upon the lonely shore
And spoke a silent grace

I cried aloud across the world
And in the darkest night
I wept upon that distant shore
Encompassed by my plight

I heard a soft and joyous cry
Call back across the sea
I stood upon the silent shore
And waited there for thee

Until at last I am complete
Beside the glimmering foam
I walk with thee along the shore
That I at last call home
