Show me the way back home
Is it down the trail
through the woods
Or between the rows of
corn looming over my head
Do I follow the path by the
stream we called river
Tell me the way back home
Because I keep losing my
way
Caught up in the steps to
take
Over the roots and stones
in my way
Time is running out
And I still can’t
remember
How to get back home
Please show me the way
end of august / summer / an era feels
how's life and transition and stuff going for you guys? wanna hear from my 156 (!) followers ♥
This is beautiful! Sometimes I wonder where my home is and I really don't feel at home completely anywhere at the moment. It just reminds me though Who calls me to my true Home. <3 Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Kara, YES. So true. So glad that truth is unchanging in the face of everything else. :') Thank you for reading and commenting!!! xxx
DeleteYour poem - especially the last verse - makes me feel. I'm often stressed by not knowing the path ahead of me or which road to take, but your poem makes beauty out of the stress. <3

ReplyDeleteMan, I don't like endings ... even though I'm looking forward to fall, it always feels like such a stark marker of time ... maybe it's the weather change? everyone returning from vacation? idk but I feel this poem ...
