Our Home across the sea

A Poem about our sense of exile and search for home

The faintest echo, a haunting sense
of longing, loss and love immense
The wildness of the hunt and plea
A light from our Home across the sea

To know with doubt, to feel the wound
The ache of something past and soon
Disturbed and settled, a tale to be
A light from our Home across the sea

The scent of honey, the stab of mirth
The dust of stars, the dirt of earth
The air of exile, restrained and free
A light from our Home across the sea

A far-off country, a swift sunrise
A secret waiting at the end of time
We run unhindered, destined to see
A light from our Home across the sea
