The Prodigal


I seem to die slowly when I�m not sheltered by the refuge of my home
When my tears that fall like the rain are allowed to hurt me by chilling my soul
I�m blind when I don�t see that warm glow of lamplight that shines through the windows of my home.
In blind desperation, I seek out my familiar place
I twist and I turn and I ache
When I don�t lie on the plush cushions of my home
I cry as I lie on the rocks of the wilderness
As I yearn for the comfort of my dear haven � my sweet abode.

I love my home � I�d happily reside therein forever
And relish it�s scents and sounds and it�s familiar treasures.
I tremble at the road�s end, at that moment when my home first comes into sight
I want to run to my dwelling, but I fight the impulse
I force myself to walk, delaying the impact of the pleasure
As I draw closer
My heart races ahead
To the comfort of being within the walls of my home.

>While I was away I had searched for home
Tears seared my heart as I knew dire cravings for that place that made me whole
Now I have returned
And I have rejoined the part of my spirit I had left behind
I pray I will never let go of what I have found again
I am at peace now
My restless spirit is soothed.

I came to him, flowed into his arms
Love unspoken waded through the tumble of emotions we felt and came to the fore
Why did I leave knowing we�d grieve so much without each other?
�I�m back now, forever�� I feel life ebb into me again
I have found him � at last.
At last - I have come home.
