I look up, and I see.
History as a timeline,
Echoing its story, from now to eternity.
I see generation upon generation,
Eras of sacrifice and pain.
Power and reign.
Rise and fall. Birth. Death.
I see life.
Vapors in family lines,
Mending heartache and heartbreak.
Combating the changing weather,
Not wavering.
Heirlooms,
Continuing to reap and sow.
I see the patient,
Continuing to wait for the rain.
The ones who chose to stay.
So many souls with faces and names,
Legacy building from age to age.
Accumulating to a grander story.
I see a symphony of language filling the sky.
Thundering songs full of color, hope and dreams,
Enduring anthems ringing,
Connecting future, now and past.
I see You.
Dedicated to all.
Unshaken and unashamed.
Further beyond what I could ever know.
I see kingdom.
Where you are present.
In it all.
And somehow within these lines.
The miracle is, You see me.

I look up and see
Kingdoms
Waking me to dream
I see you
What do you see in me?
Worlds collide
Stir a new
Grounded
In what seems plain
All around
An expanse to be
Longing to fly
Reaching the heights
Build, restore
As you look at me
What do you see?
It seems out of touch
Kingdoms all around
I want to be found
