wishing.
i was back home.
wished
perhaps the wind had blown me back
perhaps the light had shown me the way back
wishing
i was back home

lady, do you know the way back?
the birds wouldn't tell me
the winds went silent
so i was not back home
perhaps somewhere far away
perhaps somewhere close
asking
do you know the way back?

did she know the way back?
no.
she wouldn't say.
she left.
yes.
she left.
no.
was her silent answer.
perhaps she didn't know.
perhaps she knows.
i didn't know.
so i wish
wishing i was back home.

home?
where is home?
a place?
a time in the past or future?
some heavenly place?
or a cozy easy chair next to a fireplace?
can someone tell me?
where is home?
what is home?
am I home?

i'm not at home.
