The Way Home

Home from the forest

Home from the plains

Home from the cities

Where life is insane.

Home to sacred waters

That flow through my veins.

Home to dark, cool waters.

Home to where my heart remains.

See the full moon

Spread her golden hair out

On pillowy waters, all about

Red velvet ribbons festooned.

Home to where time

Just drifts slowly along.

Home is where I belong

Even if only in my mind.
