MY FRIEND'S HOUSE


MY FRIEND'S HOUSE



MAY HAPPY GHOSTS DWELL HERE
AND ECHOES OF LAUGHTER
AND MEMORIES OF JOY
MAY IT BE A LIGHTHOUSE BEAM
FOR TRAVELERS BUFFETED BY STORM
MAY IT BE A PLACE OF WARMTH
DRAWING LIKE YOUNG COLTS RUNNING
ANXIOUS TO BE HOME
MAY IT BE A HOLY PLACE
FOR HERE DWELLS LOVE
FREE-GIVEN AND UN-WEIGHED
UN-MEASURED
A PLACE WHERE ONE MIGHT SAY
IF ALL MY WORLD WERE UPSIDE DOWN
I COULD GO THERE…THEY'D CARE
MAY HAPPY GHOSTS DWELL HERE
AND ECHOES OF LAUGHTER
AND MEMORIES OF JOY

FRANK VOLLMER
