Long Way from Hone



Image result for river rapids images 

I thought I was prepared
But I didn’t factor in
the bitter, wicked wind
Blowing me off course
Away from my roots of rocks and gorse
To a turbulent river
And a cold that made me shake and shiver
Still I didn’t realize, until I had capsized
That I was a long, long way from home

My limbs, frozen like cement, fought the elements
Trying to find a way, to get through night and day
While my twisted, addled mind
Fought the nightmares it would find
Trying to justify all the reasons why
I followed blind ambition
Which led to this lonely condition
And a long, long way from home

What did I think I’d find
By leaving loved ones far behind?
Setting aside belief; causing so much grief
Now all I want is to apologize
For the foolish things I’d fantasied
What I had to gain--
So small, compared to all the pain
And I’m still, a long, long way from home
