Homesick

You spend your whole life

Just to remember the sound

When the world was brighter

Before we learned to dim it down

Call it survival

Call it the freedom of will

Where breath is our own

Our compass needle standing still

Our resignation only comes on beaten paths

When the world was flat we chant of

The changes

If love's elastic

Then were we born to test it's reach

Is it buried treasure

Or just a single puzzle piece

It's poison ivy beneath our brave and trusting feet

All revelations come to us in recovery

Cry wolf cry mercy

Cry the name of the one you were raised to believe

Cry heart cry yourself to sleep

Cry a storm of tears if it helps you breathe

If it helps you if it helps you breathe
