Welcome Home

Through a golden door
I run
I slam
It shut
Behind me

Am I free?

Things to do require my attention
Free time wants to be lived with all its might
I want it all
I can not fail to see it all

Give me every channel
Every picture, every sound and every thought
Then I will be happy
Input input input what I sought

The golden door
Oh god its light is blinding
The toys, the charm
All there is to adore

But I loose it
And I find myself
On a stranded shore
Of frantically searching
For the next best thing

I can not find it
Is all lost?

But then, like out of mist
The story gets a twist
Like a brand new start
I finally hear

The voice of my own heart

And suddenly
I see a bird flying
It winks at me
And with the voice of the sea
It says:

I am what you seek
You have not lost, but found
The quiet of the soul
You are no longer bound
You are no longer alone
For once you find me you can always return

Welcome home
