Poem: Home

I gave you a quote earlier from a poem I wrote back in 1987.  Thought I post the whole thing.  This is copyrighted, published in 1993.

Home
These emerald walls that tower above
And kiss an azure sky
I remember
They are my home

Now I am just a passer-by
With conflicting emotions of continued
Farewells
In torment do I always linger and delay
In leaving
My most favored hills

Under the lush canopies
That crowns my beloved path
I find my way home
To the places of my present
And my past

Just as I have found my way
I leave my soul behind
Forever to haunt and play
Knowing that already my heart
Is buried deep beneath this clay

Whichever path I find
That may lead me back this way
To the home that will and always be
The one in which I wish to stay
