Let's go home
To the hollow grove where
Reckless and blindness married
And became love
To the path that led to
The tree of hope that once grew tall
The tree that touched the heavens
And blossomed into fear and danger
Do you recall the Meadow of regret
That connected the trees and roots
To the earth
That grew yellow flowers of desperation
And grief
The rain of fertility
That wetted the soil
And became a language
Of sacrifice and death
Let us go to the days
Where we climbed
The tallest tree in the grove
And danced in the meadow
Of flowers of yellow
And jumped in the puddles
The rain had conjured
Over night
For what is comfort if not
suffering
Love and war
Joy and sadness
Let us go home
And leave this world behind
For what is a well lived life, if not a beautifying death
