Wisdom

My thoughts are full
Of the devices of man
Realities
And things cleverly planned
By foes
In the know-ledge of self
They don't allow
The light to shine
Walking on a dirt road blind

Can't remember when
It was a long time ago
I remember Mother
Calling to me
Three times
Come back in

I was scared
But I came
Running
Into her arms
Safe
From harm's way

That dirt road
Felt good to my feet
I thought it was a part of me
Dust to dust, you know
But it wasn't
It wasn't good for me
But I couldn't see

In my Mother's arms
I am comforted
In the know-ledge of life
My history
My destiny

There's no place like home
