'Struggle'

When hearing those echoes of yearning,
from the battlefields I left, returning,
to feel my hearth’s heat against my feet
and once again sleep to your heart’s beat.

But these years of crusade have numbed
that instinct which once lead me home.
The now sagging hills have birthed new streams
which never flowed in my homecoming dreams,
and forests have flowered into the dale;
my weary mind wanders in search of the trail
which will bring this soul out from its cold
in warmth of your smile and safety you hold.

May your fires still burn brightly at dark;
and glimpsing the glitter, I’ll set my mark
with unveering footsteps straightway and true
‘til again I am sheltered in the arms of you.

I liked these lines..

which will bring this soul out from its cold
in warmth of your smile and safety you hold.

I'll keep the fires burning
in heart as well as home
so that you may find your way
no matter how far you roam

I'll pray you hear my heartbeats
to guide you to our nest
and welcome you with open arms
hold you close to my breast

I'll remind you of the peace
you find in my warmth at night
I will love you sweet and long
love you, with all my might

I'll stay ever hopeful waiting
till you come back to me
and keep the fires burning
here beside the sea
