We Feel Safe At Home

We Feel Safe At Home

Home is the place in time where I am born 
with each new day Earth spins around the sun, 
so I should never feel sad or forlorn 
with you beside me to play games of fun, 
for though we wander far from our first hearth 
we feel safe at home anywhere on Earth. 

With eyes fixed on the past where I come from 
I walk backward to the new home I build 
while chanting spells in rhythm with the drum 
as founding member of the Singers Guild, 
recording tales of heroes we adore 
whose mothers wait still in their open door. 

Old bearded wizard in the forest grove 
explains to me the past is never dead, 
and not even past as our memory trove, 
for history is the dream poem in our head 
that we recite each night in feasting hall 
to praise the dead whose masks hang on the wall. 

On flowing water of our history ghost 
we sail our boat of life on stream of time, 
then feast in temple of the generous host 
who offers wisdom of the ritual chime 
while actors play dramatic roles on stage 
in tales I record on the timeless page. 

The future always seems invisible 
while the past presents everything we know, 
yet our own tale is still discoverable 
as we resist fate to go with the flow 
through fierce subversion of the ancient truth 
now redesigned by our messiah sleuth. 

Each present moment beams beyond our reach 
so we record events as they occur 
to synthesize truth our descendants teach 
reversing roles of God and Lucifer 
as tyrant overthrown by rebel clown 
whom we elect to wear the thorny crown. 

Though frightened crowd attends fear of their rage 
at innocent scapegoat they sacrifice, 
the victim resurrects as victor sage 
who shelters the oppressed in paradise, 
for Heaven is commune of equal rights 
according to great epic no one writes. 

I strum lyre and sing, wherever I roam 
in mountains or vales of our spinning Earth 
my heart I carry with me is my home 
for soul of each human is beyond worth, 
thus we must fight against cruel tyranny 
to keep our global democracy free.
