James Burns Poet Couplet

She Calls Me Home

She Calls Me Home…

At days long end
Left on troubles shore
When I just know
I can't take anymore
When the last light
Of hope is gone

She calls me home
She calls me home

When my thoughts
Are racing round
And I can't find
A friend in this town
When every door
Has turned out wrong

She calls me home
She calls me home

She calls me home
To her embrace
Wipes the tears
From my tortured face

Calms my soul
Til the demons are gone
And with her sweet voice
She calls me home

When the dark
Won't give up light
When the wrong
Outscores the right
When the noise
Outdoes the song

She calls me home
She calls me home

When the clouds
Won't seem to break
And the sky
Just seems to ache
And the sun's
Completely gone

She calls me home
She calls me home

She calls me home
To her embrace
Wipes the tears
From my tortured face

Calms my soul
Til the demons are gone
And with her sweet voice
She calls me home

Skat A August 30, 2015 at 2:01 PM James, Great piece to read, before I head out. Well done ~SKAT~ James Burns August 31, 2015 at 12:31 AM Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Where are you "heading out" to? How appropriate the read would be if you were heading to see your mom. Thanks again for the positive comment and good luck and Godspeed with your travels.

December 13, 2014 at 10:38 PM Such a deep and moving poem. I can feel my soul being called home. Anyone lost will be able to relate to this. I actually want to be the person calling others home.
