This is my home

Tip-toe gently down the cool stone steps
Each footprint is a whisper...
Emerging from a silent wood,
the flowers begin a slow crescendo of color...
As the deep purple tones evolve into vibrant hues,
Then fade softly into a warm white that dissolves into the sparkling honey-colored sunlight...
This is my home

Peer fearlessly down a high cliff above an ocean city,
The inviting buildings nestled in the secluded cove...
The waves dance beneath you as you stand above the world,
Red flags triumph in the midnight air,
All is hushed but the ambient crash of the waves against blackened rocks.
A hidden moon echoes a thousand stars and amplifies the dim glow of the safe haven beneath...
This is my home

The air is drowned in the altitude of blue as you rest upon the white billows,
In a painting of clouds and kites you breathe in the song of the sky...
As the birds swoop and glide among translucent mountains,
Your eyes fill with tears, and you feel inspired and effervescent...
With outstretched arms, embrace it all.
No words can express this,
This is my home

Beneath ocean waves, sit in amongst the sand and stones,
Watch the light from a world above laugh as it waltzes across the rainbow colored coral...
Fish peek shyly from behind sponge beds and seaweed,
And the dark moving shape of a great blue whale shadows across the distance...
The calming waters sing a prayer of peace and harmony,
and all around the surroundings chorus in agreement... All is well here...
This is my home

In the shelter of embrace,
A strength that is not my own, holding me up...
Reassuring me with the comfort of their gentle touch.
I am not alone
The warmth of this moment will not fade with memory, it is with me always.
Because the one who holds me up has promised never to leave me or forsake me.
This is love.

THIS is my home.
