On Our Way Home

I’m gonna need your help
to find my way home.
And even if you don’t need me,
you may like some company,
or at least some friendly words
to help you sleep through the night.

Let’s consider our conversation
to be like a babbling brook.
We’ll speak when there is water,
and when we are dry
we’ll become stepping stones
towards the other side,
where we may find waiting,
a deeper understanding.

First comes experience,
then some intuition,
then real faith,
and finally a solid place
to build our foundations.
Let’s find our way home!
