Lost Home

There is a saying, many ways that lead to Rome
But I can’t even find a decent map
It’s like standing lost and blind in the woods
Sticking out my hands in hopes of grabbing a branch

When I grab that branch, I hang on to it for life
But the branch snaps, leaving me empty again
Trying to focus on a shimmering light in the far distance
Not sure it’s something, I walk to it frantically

Don’t want to be in these woods alone any longer
I start walking fast, falling, get up and run faster
When I come closer, there is a small inviting cabin
With a light, a warmth, a smell that feels like home

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
