Like a lover missing me the place I once called home enacts its vibrational pull and there’s a backward twist to my forward gait. It stands in a mist that never disappears, in the clouds joined one unto the other, or beneath the earth in a glorious cavern or just somewhere unimaginable. I cannot draw the outlines or sketch the inner chambers but there’s a bearing down of truth and happiness. But truth, yes, truth, so intermingled with a land of signs and wonders remains for you and me and them completely unattainable. So like a lover missing me home waits until the time is right to say finally and truthfully “Come unto me and I will give you rest”. Helen / 9 June 2012 |

Sorta depressing in its way, Helen, but i can understand exactly where you are coming from. I, for one, have never sat down roots, so even my old home i grew up ion has frightful memories and a place I would never want to go back to. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I really like this... especially the first verse!  I read it several times before moving on... and again once I'd finished the poem. Beautiful work! |

Thanks everyone for your comments. Reality is bearing down rather harshly in my world these days and is, unfortunately, keeping me away from the blue pages but they have their own vibrational pull, you know. Helen |

"I cannot draw the outlines or sketch the inner chambers but there’s a bearing down of truth and happiness." This is so true for me as well, great write! Ms. E |
