take me home.

reach out 
take my hand
pull me down 

from the sky
to the sand

we will run 
and play 
and jump 
and splash in the salty water of the sea

take me there
please 
take me home 
to the sun on my face 
and wind in my ear 
take me to a place where freedom is real.

not just a saying 
and meaningless gesture
where hope flourishes in every living thing 
and life is abundant 
every life rejoiced 
and honored for it's imperfect beauty 
of just simply being
being alive. 

take my hand 
pull me up
give me wings
so I can fly 
across the sapphire blue sky 

where the air is clean 
and gone to the breeze 
are the nasty comments 
or filthy names thrown at me. 

take my hand 
take me home
please 
take me to her
the true mother earth 
not this fake 
plastic version we've created
pull me onwards
towards the life I've always wanted
where everyone learns
that no
they are not insignificant
one person
has the power
to change the world
every day
if they would only try. 

take me home
to the life 
inside my mind
because it's better 
than this despicable life outside. 

(wow ok, even I wasn't ready for that ending, and I wrote it, I guess I have more feeling around this than I though.)
