Captured light
Art by Gabriel Dawe, Exhibition called Wonder, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Renwick Gallery
I want to be home.
I have been gone.
Stuck in time.
Working with matter.
Bound to things
Lost and cold.
I want to be light.
Freed from this night.
Know my soul.
Moving as love.
Be the essence
Of eternity formed.
I want to be me.
Heaven beneath my feet.
No more waiting.
Knowing I’m enough.
Cocooned by God.
Alive in Oneness.
I want to belong.
It’s been so long.
On the fringe.
Carrying this load.
Take me back.
Send me home.
