"Home"
The Peace Is In My Heart Like A Slow Muddy River
Moving In The Night As Though Through An Unfathomable Dream
My Home, My Home, And Ghosts Are In It
Like The Universe in Its Void, I Wish That They Would Leave Me
My Heart Is Like The Martian Surface Like Some Faraway Dream
I Wander And Wonder Why, Why I Cannot Return Home
Sometimes I Believe Mars Is Really My Home
I Feel so very Lost And Alone On Earth
No One Understands Me and The World Doesn't Know What It's Doing
To Me To Their People To The Sanctity Of The Night
The Night IS A Sanctuary Can't You See, The Silence Is Real And Deep
How Dare They Invade My Funerary Keep
Soft And Slow The River Courses Within My Great Heart
Like My Heart Were A Pile Of Rocks And The River Played On It Like A Drum
Like My Heart Wanted To Go Back Home, Rested Like A Displaced Bird In A Tree
Nearby Perched I Looked at You and I Looked My Heart Unraveled
The Meaning Of Mars Is Love, I Thought, And Mars Is Within Me
And How Dare They and I Stand Alone Here On My Cold Precipice
I Have Never Been That Lost
And I Probably Never Will Be Again
I Don't Want To Be Here I Want To Go Back Home To MY Willolyn Hall
I Want My Peace To Be Returned To Me
I Wait For Ghosts To Fade And I Pray That God Will Have Mercy
Like Demons The Wedding Guests Eat At My Heart
I Would Turn Them To Stones But I Cannot Walk Far Enough To Turn Them
And I Do Not Have The Heart To, For I Loved Them Once
One Day I Will Go Back To My Home
They Understand Some Diurnal Meaning A Truth To My Heart
Like "Home" Was A Place You Never Leave
And I Pray I Can Find That Peace Here Again
In This World
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
