So here I plant my Flag
Set up a new Homeland
Sow the seeds of Love
And fix my Will for Hope
Here.. Just here
A Future of my choice would commence
Here I live the Now, and cling to it …
As I hope for Tomorrow
A clip of Faith
A flock of Passion
Attached to a life where Justice and Free Will
Would freely rule
Life once incubated by borders of a dream
Ending at the launch of a so called “reality
Here I would instill purity
And rinse out whatever stains of fear
Impurities of Hatred would exit no more
Candor is the canon, forever to rule…
I would build my future on the ruins of my past
And Cheer
Mark the Start Point
Here…
And the heart of my New Being would Rejoice
And feel triumphant I would
I’d think of no Pain
And surely anticipate it not
I’d give in to the Now
And invite my choices to combat
Feel Confusion?
I Shall not
For I shall be…
Watching my choices competing
I Shall set my vision sharp
Feeling through and more very sensing
And there I would move profusely…
from Choices to Decision
And yet again, I would rejoice
Decisive I dare to be
Unwavering …
like I’ve always been
And how would the new Homeland Look like?
As graceful as a Queen
As innocent as a Child
And as Unique as nothing else would be
It would speak my language
And Rule by the law of my guts
Selfish? No..
Transparent I’d say
My New Homeland…
Would you shield me when I need
Would you heal me when I ail?
Would you feel me when I relate to you?
Would you let a faithful me live carefree?
Would you contain me?
Tender as I wish would you be
Always be Home to me?
