Poem
Years have gone by and I still cannot keep steady in the sky You have been working on me For more than half a century going up and down the galaxy floating in the air and you have left me suffering down here I don’t know how to fly or I would fly I don’t know how to sing or I would sing But I can compose beautiful rhythm You have taken me to this place where everyday is the same and dreams come apart with the breeze and there is no compassion in the trees The days are aligned with the moon And my heart is still searching for truth I am far away from home And the bus is onward bound How much longer must I tarry in this place? When destiny is waiting at the gate You have left me this place and it feels like a hundred years since I am here My body has grown thin and my eyes are getting dim I don’t know anyone in this town And sometime I feel all alone I have absorb myself with work As I move around in the dirt I am clinging on to the cobweb in the ceiling And I watched them coming and going With guns strapped to their sides And big tankers rolling by I watched the mountain move into the sea And the fire burning in my feet All the trees are getting old and My heart is composing a song for the dying ones I am traveling with my bag and my heart is feeling sad But when you came along You open the door and courage fill my soul And everyone trapped inside Came out with joy and pride And hungry hearts display the symbol of love And blessings start pouring from above. I have waited all these years to get here And now I am finally home. give me water to wash my feet and something delicious to eat. I am home!
