Sigh.
When there’s danger about
And nothing flashes friendly
Don’t sing your depressing melody
Where you’re both artist and audience
Instead lift your feet from their concrete shells
And return to the place where judgment is nil
Home is a harbor
For lost vessels
Love emanates from the safety
Brooding is removed from your body
The poetry of family
Is that words are not necessary
Is where visions come undone
You are who you are
And that’s the only necessity
Dreams stay living
When empowered by encouraging eyes
And through these eyes, your vision shall become
Sigh.
When all seems in doubt
Where not a soul appears the same
Take a deep breath.
Sigh.
You’re but footprints away
From the place you once called home
Return to comfort
Do not dote
Go home again.
Where acceptance begins
With hello.
Sigh.
Well done for Fourth of July - here is mine:

That's a good message... and beautifully written. I love these lines: You’re but footprints away / From the place you once called home
ReplyDeletehaha that sigh at the end just made it seem all, I told you so, like...haha, nicely done. True you can always go home, although the first thing they say isn't hello, it's do you have a gf yet..lol..pain

ReplyDeleteBeautiful message Fred =)
ReplyDeleteI think it is essential for a person to have place to call home, wherever that maybe -- be it with family or friends, or pet. :) It's simply a place where one can be at peace, relax and recharge.

A call to get out instead of just standing and taking it, and letting yourself get dragged down. I love these lines.
