Home Was Never Forsaken By Me

Home was never forsaken by me
On sun-blazed hills these feet trod
Millions of stars followed me
Exhausted of the long travels
Serenity came only at night
Without asking me of my troubles 
Enraged by her insensibility
Everything I wished for myself 
Turned nights into trepidation
Horrified by those future events 
Othello could have startled me
Moments of fear kept me trembling
Even moonlight had a faded glow.
