My Soul Roams

by Jessica Perez   Jul 16, 2012


My Soul Roams
At night my soul roams
longing to be free at home
In another time, in another place where I am not alone
Day after day my mind's thoughts are my thorns
Oh, why? Oh, why was I born?
lowborn
In a time, in a place adorned with scorn
I feel Christ's thorn
I am not the first born to mourn and be torn
So, night after night my soul will roam
until it is reborn
In another place known as home
-Jessica 7/14/12

    Life is an ultimate question. That demands one answer from all. Our job is to go discover. That every breath may recover. Where there's a need, there's an answer. Answer is report of a find. Every need must resume with thorn. See the end, and strive for the fun. End of a matter spells victory. But it takes some time to get there. Patience is key to survival. At the fullness of time, God gives.

    I felt such a deep connection with this poem. They say home is where the heart is but, just because it beats there doesn't mean it's where you belong. I loved the simplicity of your words as well as the rhyme. Truly spoke to me.
