'Tis long way from home child!
To the wild
If you lost the path
To where thy kins stay
This far away
To a different world
Full of perils
And devils
Of newer kind
You will find
none to guard!
There isn't the bird
For you to sing
The chant of morning
No sun to light
The way, your sight
Will be nothing but blurred!
The clouds are dark
'Tis going to rain
Almost certain
The tracks would be lost
So with care utmost
Retreat on my mark!
Go make to the land
You come from
Sing a psalm
And pray
Make no more delay
Be faster than time's sand.
'Tis long way from home child
'Tis long way from home!
And that's when he smiled:
'Tis long way from home, aye sir!
And your concerns are all fair
I am far off indeed
From where i started
Without my steed
To a course uncharted
No track of time or the distance
This very instance
I ought to head back
Out of harm's way
To my genial pack
And there only stay!
I laud thy gesture
But look closely mister!
What i long for
Isn't the way home
A higher perch nor
A hearty welcome!
From where you sit
My course looks adrift
My intent astray
And yet to thee
All i can say
" 'Tis fine by me!"
Not the darkness i dread
No devils make me afraid
The rains, the jungle
I least worry
Nor desire an angel
For company
The journey i embark
Perhaps a shot in the dark
You will call
With much belief
But it hath in all
A different motif
The herd i left is happy
And so shall they be
But i ain't content
Or have peace within
Bigger is the intent
And that's the Quest i am in.
