Come Home

VERSE

Rest on moss carpet

moist with your sylvan tears

My open boughs await you

a cradle for your sorrows

Lay still before me

flesh to lychen

and share your breath

with mine

BRIDGE - 2 x's

Your solace

Your shelter

Your air

Your muse

Scent of cedar

Whiff of tamarack

Grandmother

father friend

Inhale the rich patina

of our tangled lives

Exhale all you’ve forgotten

Exhale your rooted shame

CHORUS

Come home to you

Come home to me

Behold what has come

from one little seed

Come home to you

Come home to me

Truth lives inside us

in symphony

Your presence

under dappled light

Your face lit by

our same sun

Your palm’s caress

on my rough bark

I am protected by your love

by your healing touch

BRIDGE - 2 x’s

My solace

My shelter

My air

My muse

A melody to mend the cracks

whispers in my branches

Let my rustling voice

sustain you

Your ancestors have listened

The song lives in their bones

Do you recall the music

that also lives in you?

BRIDGE - 2 x’s

Our solace

Our shelter

Our air

Our muse

CHORUS
