A Whisper in the Wind

Your voice was like the wind blowing softly in the distance.
A wind that kept blowing and would not die.
I was like a lost lamb roaming aimlessly in the dark,
Having no sense of direction - following others like myself.
And still the wind blew.
You called me by name as if you knew me, yet you were a stranger to me
I did not know you, so I ignored you.
And still the wind blew.
But you did not give up.
You kept calling my name, but I kept ignoring you
I kept searching, for what, I did not know.
And still the wind blew.
My life grew emptier and emptier day by day
No matter what I did to fill the void, I could not.
And still the wind blew
The wind grew stronger and stronger day by day
Till one day I could no longer ignore my name being carried in the wind.
I heard you calling my name
calling me to come
And this time I listen and followed.
That day, I cried like I've never cried before.
I cried like a child being reunited with his parents after being lost for so long.
I cried tears of joy.
And as I cried, I looked up and out of the darkness, there stood a light riding in the winds.
A light so bright, yet it did not blind me.
A light so bright, yet I was not afraid.
And as I looked around me, the darkness was gone
And you took me in your arms and embraced me.
From that moment on, I walk with the light, having no empty voids, because You filled my life.
And now, each time I hear the wind blowing, a smile forms on my lips and my spirit is lifted
For each time the wind blows, I hear you calling my name.
