I’ve been hungry for a home
Since before the time I left it
18 and anchors away
Permanency long before lifted
No matter when I returned
It always felt different
Not that I overstayed my welcome
But that belonging was no longer an option
Floating in harbor
Or miles length from shore
The horizon is where water and sky kiss
Perhaps it’s there that I can dwell?
If only I can find it
Adrift, but I don’t want to be
You say you also didn’t have a place
To rest your body
But now,
You’re residing in me;
I’m your home.
Won’t you be mine too?
Heaven is too far
If just death’s destination
My anchor chains aren’t long enough
But, if home isn’t a place
I wonder
Will it be enough if just a person?
Yet, when I climb in your lap,
Legs dangling from the bigness of your throne,
I might just believe it
