I know I already posted this on the Spirituality forum, but posts get moved down quickly on that one 
and I also thought that it was particularly significant to those of us desperately seeking God through our vocations.
This is a poem that I came across at the time when I began seriously discerning God’s call to the religious life, and it really touched me.
A Heavenly Land
Ocean waves are crashing, the crystallised water is smashing.
They shatter into glassy droplets and spray the air surrounding.
The sea is a mass of broken dreams searching for one who will fulfill them.
The air is he, calm as the dolphins beneath it who wash away all misery into the clear night sky.
Blow, wind, blow, and take me with you to the land where all are satisfied.
Brush me with your tenderness; encrust me with your diamond beauty.
Enlighten your faithful child with the wisdom of eternity.
Guide me that I might live as peacefully as you, my friend, who delights all who witness your peaceful beauty.
Bring me to the blissful happiness in which you dwell and bestow me with the gift of contentment.
My God, lead me to the enchanted castle I now call home.
