HOME

In another life
I would be burned for a witch
I would be drowned
In cold slimy ditch 
Or pool
Where toads are king
And frogs rule
Tied upon a downing stool
For 
I know things, you see
I sense things
Am aware
Have seen the light
Or
You may know it as 
The second sight
But
Life's riches 
This does not bring
And life's joys
I no longer sing
For it is different than 
You might think
Rather now
A keening
A longing inside
A  great hole 
Where yearning resides
For the price to know is
A growing 
A gaining
But not in riches
Not in this life
With its troubles, cares
Cruelty, strife
No
For what it's taught to me
Is
There is so much more
Mysterious places
That I can see
And I find 
Myself
On the edge
Wanting to sink
Where dark meets light
On the brink
For
This world
This one
Is not for me
There is another place
Look closely
See
Another world
Made of love and light
Tis home
It's where we end our fight
Tis home
Where we wander free
Tis home
That's where I wish to be.
