there was a longing in my soul
a cry for the darker places
a seed deeply buried
shyly toying with the light
whispering secrets
my ears could not hear
now the creatures of the sea
and the birds of the air
have merged their humble energies
in welcoming me
cool primordial mists
hauntingly bestow their blessings
and the balm of the bay
pervades every waking moment.
indeed i am home
