Home is where the heart is
I am safe now,
My backyard so;
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# So go tell love, I am coming home
# I am coming home
I have been gone, for so long, too long, on too-daloo
Compasses used, run out of directions to point
So we replaced them, with the stars and carried on
It has been, layers upon layers
Like a tree trunk circles with history to tell
And it all sits inside, few see
What bad weathers left on us
We laughed it off, and carried on
The journey is long, and long awaited
And now I am indeed I am
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# Some body tell love, I am coming home
# I am coming
These times past, feels like journeys,
Gone past yesterday, reset today
The memories takes us, run around circles
Faces and acquittance comes and go, in turnover
Like yesterdays birthdays
Few things I did share with love ones
Not all stories are to be told
So we blackout sentences
This is the making of a man
We had our blessing and left home
This is the transition on ceremony
We grew wings and left the nest
We went out hunting, and making waves
We found reasons, in new seasons and paradigms
We made sense of it all, and then finally
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# Send words to love, I am coming home
# I am coming home
There are things in these wilderness
Not to be spoken off, on scouts honour
They lark in stone throw branches nearby
And we know their presence, we feel their threats
This is not for the vulnerable, boots that shivers
We lost that long before this stage reached
No longer scared of the darkness
It is the route we have to walk through
And when it's all done, over and done with
Tell love I am coming home
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# Go tell love, I am coming home
# I am coming home
To be greeted, by what we fought for
There has been doubters, stood with acid rain
And we've seen them off, like dominoes
Brushed off, like fluffs brushed off our shoulders
We float on sinkable
We walked bare foot on fire balls
Sat on the front line of free fall
There has been sorrow with friends and love ones
And we've shared their pain,and ours theirs
Now I am coming home, end lines reached we made it
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# Finally it stands that, I am coming home
# Tell love I am coming home
We are there now, we see the horizons
Close by, two steps away now
And we finally made it
So I am coming home
I am safe now,
My backyard so;
# I am coming home
# I am coming home
# So go tell love, I am coming home
# I am coming home
I have been gone, for so long, too long, on too-daloo
Compasses used, run out of directions to point
So we replaced them, with the stars and carried on
It has been, layers upon layers
Like a tree trunk circles with history to tell
And it all sits inside, few see
What bad weathers left on us

The journey is long, and long awaited
And now I am indeed I am

This piece has as many layers as those old tree trunk circles - the repetition of 'I am coming home, I am coming home..' really completes it..there are many fantastic lines -'so we blackout sentences' particularly sang to me..a fine balance between struggle and victory..Jae
ReplyDeletethat was a swell poem! :)
ReplyDeletemade me all warm and happy!!
A bright poem with all levels of feelings as we live with him on his adventures and see him coming home. I particularly liked the compass running out of directions, the blacked out sentences, finding reasons and making sense of it all. Also the coming home repetitions tied it together beautifully. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, so comforting and filled with hope! One of the most amazing takes I've seen on this prompt. =)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
Kisses. =*
This is just beautiful! I loved the refrain which kept weaving itself throughout your poem - the whole of it was totally uplifting.
