Home

One day there will be answers
A million last words
Will be felt instead of spoken
They will unfurl a banner
And welcome you home

And in quiet recognition
Of all that you’ve offered
They will grant you your passage
And then leave you alone

Because even though there are answers
They know you won’t understand
You’ll stand in their circle
They will look you in the eye
And never say a word

And in quiet acceptance
Of all that you’ve pushed away
They will dismiss the fire in your eyes
And douse the bridges that you’ve burned

Maybe that will be your answer
In all of the words
You knew you felt but weren’t spoken
Maybe you will feel it in you
And know that you were home

And in quiet understanding
Of all that walked away
You will see that I did this for you
And you were not alone

One day there will be answers
A million last words
But the only ones that will matter
Were felt but never spoken
And know that we were both already home
