home is calling

spontaneity
real adventure
not pay-admission thrills but walking in the woods
boarding a boat to a new continent
lust and passion and furious love

home is calling

he refused to quit
he had responsibilities and purposes
and angels are real
and they do not always bring joy
just what is needed
then was given a tree to wrap his truck around

home is calling

sitting in the cave
self-assured, arrogant
was once at peace with the truth
but character and integrity were never taught to him
talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
alone to walls which only stare back
when all he wants is to grab hold of her and never let go

home is calling

she has no voice anymore
her only instrument to feel life
and that’s what she never had
now a few tiny blades removed the option

home is calling

paralyzed and pushed
she cries silently short of breathe
raw meat fingers of anxiety
her meek voice craving to scream
so she breathes and falls asleep
wondering if he’ll ever understand, ever just love

home is calling
