Haven on Earth

Rhonda Briggs 1983

Free verse
Like a whisper on the wind
Free as a bird, light as a feather
The way home encompasses me
Safe to be me,
Safe to feel able to spread my wings
I can fly but I stay grounded.
My faith, my beliefs, stronger.
Haven is home. Home is where the heart is.
No longer lost, floating, drifting,
I come back to Earth.
I have found my Haven.
