Why is he longing, for Vicksburg?
He dreams of her nightly, now.
From whence comes, this desire?
Why the craving?
Why the need?
What did he leave behind, in Vicksburg?
The last visit, was so long, ago.
He left with the one,
With whom he had danced,
For so many years.
She had been his final companion,
assigned by his mission president,
to watch over and protect him,
on their journey home.
21 years before that day,
she had been assigned, the same task,
by her Eternal Father.
They had battled for so many years,
to build a lasting Eternal Relationship.
Here on the Battlefields of Vicksburg,
they began the process,
of leaving behind the old dance,
and starting a new one,
as they sought to forgive,
and be forgiven.
She has been gone,
for a decade, now.
He has just completed a journey
with her Eternal Companion,
and provided him with a good death,
with the assistance of his,
Eternal Companion.
Maybe the longing, for Vicksburg,
is craving a new Eternal Dance,
with his Eternal Companion,
and a desire to reunite with,
his Eternal Companion and their Parents.
Once more.
