it's love that flows in from each far-off field ...
Here, on a windswept
high plateau, is where
I have most come
to feel at home.
This is also where the
words came to me -
in my own,
my chosen home -
and where I started
my exploration
of what it means,
to be at home.

HOME -
first version - 2006
IN MY OWN,
MY CHOSEN HOME
In my own
my chosen home
On a high plateau
all alone
yet cozy
a nest
and large
inviting in
each day
I feel blessed
inviting in
for the eyes
the flocks of birds
the morning mist
the
nighttime sky
inviting in
the forest
that
changes day by day
to
russets and reds
to
shades of gray
I feast my eyes
I feel blessed
in this
my chosen home
I've come to rest
and I invite ...
I invite ...
I long to share
the landscape is always my guest
I invite it in on each side
through huge windows
with
warm wood frames
and I begin
to put down roots
plant rose bushes
wild
roses
near the barn
I move from room to room
can't settle down
my eyes feast
can't settle on just one
sight
though in this
my chosen home
I've
settled in
and
settled
blossom
from
deep inside
open
wide
my arms
my heart
which
whispers
cries
let
the loving start
it's love that floods in
from each field
each far-off farm
each sunrise sunset
each far distant hill
it's love that warms each cell
overflows the heart
the autumn fields
long grasses
furrowed lines
will yield
to winter
to spring
to summer sun
I stand watching
feeling
tall
slim tufts of hay swaying
just
outside my window
because I've delayed
mowing
the field all around me
I like the tall dry grass
it's hard to leave
to tear myself away
I invite
I long to stay
and to share
this
my
chosen home
on
a high plateau
cozy
large
spacious
warm
my
home
