[based off of/in response to/borrowing from a friend’s poem, but i don’t think he will mind, or ever read this]
to be set free
from this
a hunger for love
//
it scares me
this desire
to mark this earth
to stake a claim
to know these trees
each by name
//
it scares me
the longing to stay
//
i’ve never had it before
so i don’t quite know
what i’m looking for
//
maybe a choice
to decide where you’re standing
is it okay
not to be free?
//
don’t leave drifting away
perhaps when i am finally sunk in earth
i will find a place
to stay
to rest
//
i cling to this fence
determine to be grounded
pull my hopes up
find them unfounded
//
i’ve found some small comfort
in being alone
God by my side
as i wander
in search of home
