Poetry: Home Coming
by Liam
All across my life I have been everything, other than a home
Lonely places I’d grown accustomed, to share my nightly dreams
Waking each morning to the cry and call of life
Insecurity knocked firmly on the door of adolescence
Oh! this visitor wrecked the house as we drunken fell unconscious to the floor
Lost to some new delight, a dark thought, shame, malice and far more
I met each, at the door laughing in ignorance
A moment later, emotional immaturity threw open the windows,
My sobbing eyes echoed across the fields of learning I still needed to reap
To keep going, to continue living that bread I baked and ate
Strength, inspiration, insights and you, Love
Moved in, sweeping clean the chaos, placing fresh flowers upon my breast
Each a truth, a blossom, each a blessing of recognition
Perfume, now fills this cottage of my mind
Creates a home we work for, we can create and find.
