Homely Shores

The waves carry it on And as it swims with the current, It drifts to unknown seas Where danger surfaces with the surf. But when it swims against the current, It’s thrashed and smashed And broken. But it finds the way home. It’s you. Though castles on homely shores Have been washed away. Yet castles can be built again And wooden logs can decay Trees can shed their leaves and burn While stones change shapes. Home will be calm still And soak you with peace that the waves washed away. Home will calm you I promise.
