The rest that feels like a balm,

So soothing and welcome in this place,

My fears are all gone,

I stand here without them.

This old home has seen it all,

The band-aid and renovations that plague the soul,

I'm sure today will be great,

I stand here with confidence,

In all my years of living,

Thoughts of how to catch a snake,

A tingling feeling that reminds me,

What it felt like in that pit,

Take these hands and lead the way,

Up or down I'm not sure I do,

In this beautiful world,

Of subconscious designs,

In times of happy odes,

Of lilac skies and lively hunts,
