The soles of my soul are calloused and blistered,
This pilgrimage is rougher and longer than pictured.
One stride feels like three, three years pass like one,
My golden homestead calls beyond the burning sun.
I march on despondent, crushed flowers in my wake.
Let the thorns have their fill, it's only flesh they take.
Tunnel-vision obscures the grey grown in strife,
O my home, my home… When will you arrive?

Ode to New Jerusalem

My heart goes out to all who wait.
Dear poet, a simple something from me to you:

When it comes
The morning of our mourning is shattered by our Rock -
Our Fortress - Deliverer - Oh, shepherd of the flock,
The curtains are swept and gathered like lambs,
Sweet bleets, blessed Light, and loving commands,
We cling to His voice with a new born grip,
No foothold for pain - no sin - no slip,
My friend, my friend - why art thou downcast?
Open thine eyes - see home, at last!

Thank you to all who took the time to react and reply. It's strangely encouraging to see other Home Sick brothers and sisters.

@Bellaberry , a special thank you to you for your fantastic poem which lifted my spirit. May Yahweh bless you likewise today.

In fact @Bellaberry with your permission, I would love to upload your poem to my site. I would of course credit it to "Bellaberry" or another name of your choice. However, if you would prefer I not do so, that's completely understandable, no offense taken. :)

That's great!

But no, how could I take the credit? I'm crediting you for this beautiful work. I believe Yahweh spoke through you to me in this poem and so I want to treasure it and share it with all that visit my page.

Thank you so much again. I'll let you know when it's done.

Much love,
PoE
