Poem: No Return Home Yet

No Return Home Yet

By: Joi Maree Brown

I want to go home

But it hasn't called me to come back

Been walking the same path

Back and forth

Forth and back

Looking

And

Searching

For the reason

Of the meaning

Of the purpose

Of why I first left

But it doesn't seem my way of thinking was correct at the time

When I made the choice to go

My way never seems to go right

I should have listened to that soft voice of reason

When it told me to be still

But instead I rebelled and moved

Now I'm stuck in the middle of the circle

I formed in my travels

And must stop and be still

And pray

As I am ready to now listen to God's Voice

And abide by His instructions

If it is not too late

For with His lead

Home won't seem so far away to return to
