In the days of Jared, the Watchers descended, Their counsel at Hermon left Heaven offended. Bringing gifts of forbidden secrets they taught us, But taking our innocence, mothers and daughters, Then came the Nephilim, their gigantic offspring, Who saw us as merely food and drink offerings. All...

Bloodstained souls and greed-soaked hearts, Weigh life by the pound and purpose in charts. Mutilation for filling full stomachs and pockets, Degradation and torture, percentage and profits. The tears of Adam fall as he drops to his knees, His abusive sons wardens who masticate peace...

Let them be blessed with talents and skills, Opportunities, miracles, riches and fields. Let them be blessed far beyond all measure, But a walk with Him is the blessing I treasure. For if your heart's set on learning His ways, For searching out truth and seeking His face, In this He will...

Wise books hidden from the laity, as prophesied, Leaning on devotionals to keep their hearts occupied. They doubt the motives in scrolls that are ancient, With logical flaws and fears that are nascent. Their leatherbound god is held as uncompromised, And so wisdom is hidden from them, as...

A fountain’s not that which has sprung, Nor is it found in the spring yet to run. A fire’s not in the flame that ascends, Nor in the burnt fuel that descends. So it is with eternal life… We have it now and by it survive. Unless we persist in selfish desire, To block the fountain and...

Eyes scaled over, the blight of short-sightedness, Holding the mirror but nothing to light it with. Admiring gems but only after endorsement, Refusing all outside the spiral of reinforcement. Deaf unto death to the wind and the earthquake, Risking infection over considering first aid. Forcing...

@Bellaberry Here it is. Also added to my Insta. May someone else be as blessed by your words as I was! Shabbat Shalom.

That's great! But no, how could I take the credit? I'm crediting you for this beautiful work. I believe Yahweh spoke through you to me in this poem and so I want to treasure it and share it with all that visit my page. Thank you so much again. I'll let you know when it's done. Much love, PoE

In fact @Bellaberry with your permission, I would love to upload your poem to my site. I would of course credit it to "Bellaberry" or another name of your choice. However, if you would prefer I not do so, that's completely understandable, no offense taken. :)

Thank you to all who took the time to react and reply. It's strangely encouraging to see other Home Sick brothers and sisters. @Bellaberry , a special thank you to you for your fantastic poem which lifted my spirit. May Yahweh bless you likewise today.

The soles of my soul are calloused and blistered, This pilgrimage is rougher and longer than pictured. One stride feels like three, three years pass like one, My golden homestead calls beyond the burning sun. I march on despondent, crushed flowers in my wake. Let the thorns have their fill, it's...

The hyenas cackle over their bowl of bile, The pigs feast gladly on what's wholly vile. The spiders web in bloodlust greed, The snakes crush the weak who plead. Corrupt! Corrupt are the sons of Adam! Who laugh as sons of the wicked are fattened. Both will prosper 'til the day they're...

How can I praise you Lord? All my words are unworthy, My tongue is rough as gravel, my inkpot deserts me. Generic, formulaic and pathetic on each element, My praise surely lost among the grandeur of the eloquent. Forgive me Lord, my heart seems foreign to my tongue, So my sacrifice is blemished...

You intoxicate me, I wander aimless like a drunkard, About to choke or burst from all the joy I've plundered. And if so, amen, for you're my hopeful destination, And I buckle to the fear of you exceeding expectation. A spring dances tirelessly deep within my centre, The salve of eternal life...

Ministers to my heart sing hidden by the trees, Flawless compositions perfectly interweaved. A caress from creation, a sonata for the soul, A delicate dance between chaos and control. Ministers to my heart, joy and peace surround you, How sullen would I be amid greenery without you. You...

You can tell a natural dancer from a trained performer, Even if the latter knows much more than the former. Their rhythm's innate and so each movement is truth, And with wisdom they flow to however the music moves. But the trained are limited to motions they've bought, And expression is...

No stone left uncovered by a sandal or hoof, Trees groan under weight spilling over each roof. Young lifted on shoulders, even the timid get loud, Both humbled and proud the same height in a crowd. All watch the parade of a glorious eastern retinue, Who say "Tell us where the newborn King...

The sun at my right hand as we near the House of Bread, When my love shrieks in a way that freezes us with dread. We stop afar off and lay her down with crowds of questions, Her eyes amiss in pain as we make our blind suggestions. Why does her heart beat so loud? I swear I hear a drum! I'm...

What a shrewd man I married! So crafty and smart. By giving nearly all, we're still secure and look the part! Perhaps he tarries long because he's being applauded? I should join his side, gently, then I'll also be rewarded! I don't hear joy or laughter, just whispers and digging, What a...

Pharaoh now stands when Moses is announced, Abraham’s El has remembered us and pounced! Seeing a blood river would’ve been enough for me, Still he resisted though in stiff-necked blasphemy. Over Goshen’s such peace and inside, cheering! Vigils alive with songs and old stories in hearing. Eager...
