Loading...Ascension Song
What would happen if I lived most of my life buried underground, unable to see or know what was happening above.
How would it feel to journey to where the light begins.
After seventeen years of waiting for this moment, everything moves at a rapid pace.
Transformation. Metamorphosis.
My voice urgently singing freedom, frantically celebrating the light.
Now. Now. Now.
Darkness to light-- seventeen years of waiting for this brief moment to tell this story to the future generation only to be buried again, waiting seventeen more years to ascend.
If I only had a few days in the sunlight what story would I tell?
Would it be of you, my Creator?
Of your confidence and belief that all are valuable, meaningful, beloved?
Could it be a song I sing for all to hear…
reminding them that even if, even when, they are buried in silence, for seventeen years or seventeen seconds,
eventually, they will emerge, and their voice will be heard singing your praise sharing your joy ascending to your love.
