LONG WAY HOME
We were born
To make history
We are history
Personified
Encased within us
Are mountains
Divinity-filled
Longing to be:
Mined
Explored
Loved
Caressed
The tensions
We feel
Deep within
As we seek:
Knowledge
Peace
Ease
More
How can we
Reconcile
Such stark
Opposites?
Yet we live
In the depths
Of contradiction
Each day anyway
Singing this song
Stumbling along
The long
Way home
