Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - 100 Days of Poetry Challenge Day #68

Twinkle twinkle little star,
Show the way, lead me home
Out of this darkness, light the path
Illuminate the signs
That point me
In the direction
Of where I belong.
Home.

I think I’m lost
I’m not quite sure
The signs are there, the road is winding
Everything is familiar
I know this place
But it feels different
It lacks the pull
That urges people to stay
It doesn’t feel like
Home.

Twinkle twinkle, little star
I don’t know where home is
I know this place, I’ve been here
But my soul refuses to settle
Home is where
The heart is
What’s a heart, little star?
The little piece of flesh
That can’t quite
Mind its own business?
It’s in this place called
Home?

Little star, my heart’s right here
But home is not
Light the path
Show me the way
To the place
Where my restless soul
Shall rest
Little star, twinkle twinkle
Lead me home
Keep me safe
Light the signs that show the way
To the place called
Home.
