HOME ...

home calls my name, but how?
for it can not speak, even to me
found where never is most likely to live
but always lost without a family to claim
rooms with ears wait for a voice's ring
its walls ache from a strained poise
hard wood grows harder until a foot to feel
its grain tightened from a cold alone
the quiet hearth welcomes no comers
oh, but to burn for a stranger's warming
the gentle slope of a meadow's climb
a lawn's greening, life's welcome mat
makes a run towards the wanting front door
wide expanse of greeting, gathering columns
the cooling pool of inviting blue waters
refreshes none, but its springs run still
a hearty stone pit, to boil the spit
no feast to eat 'til hunters return
oh, let me be that hunter of lost way
come to claim the home of my dreams
to the fold, we humbly invite your warmth
the entrance of our existence and souls
home, be the keeper for all who venture
become their house for all who enter

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

Touching, soothing, peaceful and homey, filled with metaphours of lasting impression.

Take care......ethome..
