Running Away From Home

Why am I running from you?

My stomach is growling While I feast on these crumbs

My tongue is dry But I drink from the sea

Here like Jonah boarding the ship Away I go, to ease Away I go, to comfort

Only, the colors aren’t bright here The sun fails to rise The crops don’t grow

Nor can I stay here long The tethering of your Spirit draws me

Back, to the narrow road Back, to the fruitful paths Back, to your presence

Here, I’m full Here, I’m satisfied Here, I’m home.
