Poetry: Home

by Jon Coe

  • Writing Level Star

When I'm there I know myself
there is no poverty or wealth
It is a place that glows inside
I do not run to it nor hide

All are welcome to come in
the love out weighs the sin
It has walls without doors
there are no points or scores

The sun shines through the rain
rainbows cure the pain
Panes of glass unfold to part
this feeling in my heart

For where ever I may stand
atop a tree or rocky land
There is a place that I call home
inside and out this spirit roam

    Smoke curling from the red brick chimney
    Roof ridges festooned with icicles

    HOMEMADE PARADISE

    From the dew of early morning,
    Until sometimes after dark,
    I can hear the sounds of labor
    As he strives to
