Tell me about all the places where you’ve been

The ones where coffee is served 

Within earshot of the muezzin’s call to prayer

Where man-made wonders reflect the majesty of the City of God

Where His original Creation makes your heart tear up with their beauty 

The places you’ve only visited

In the Dreaming – magical and mysterious, but real

And the places where you’re afraid to go

The ones buried under the weight of years

Hidden with monsters imaginary and real

All these places 

Ithaca, Troy, Paris, and Berlin

The jungle rain

The desert plain

And all the places you’ve called and wish to call 

Home
