I see my home

across the plain

heat shimmers

a sea blocks the way

My home Ive never been

but i have seen

and i picture it in my heart

In my eyes the heat burns

but i know  i will succeed

because my home

is in my heart

is in my hand

so all of this i own

 "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Simply and well put.  I like the additional location of home...in the heart AND the hand.  It alludes to the control we have over where we belong, if we indeed belong in any one place!

 I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem
I'm feeling ...
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
cuz there's a little bit of something me...
In everything in you.

yes home. I'm still searching for it. sigh.

Thanks kid.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
