It Took Me Months to Realize

I have dipped my feet in the Atlantic

In the Pacific

I have climbed every mountain

That time would allow

I have seen Berlin Wall remains

Walked through London markets

Danced with my kind

In Haight-Ashbury

Navigated New York Penn Station

In high heels

Felt closer to freedom in Oregon

Felt closer to God in Alaska

Felt closer to myself in Colorado

Felt closer to him in Honduras

Felt loneliness in New Jersey...

 

...And it took me months to realize

The earth is so spectacular

I am grateful, humbled

Yet no place is there I'd rather be

Than home
