Returning

Build your temple around you
Make a nest of your heart and an egg of your mind
Stand in the middle and find
you have nothing 
to find

In this place I see my face smiling back at me
the luminous glow of who I had thought was the enemy
Waiting and calling me home 

In her eyes my disguise is shown for what it is
and as she kindly lifts the mask away
the tears flow to the ocean 
returning 
and waiting for me to come home again

Remember the ocean tide 
as it runs through your veins
The holy land your body claims as 
bone and skin
letting you in 
to experience this life
this moment
this unending question
again and again and again
Calling you home
Come home my friend
