There's a distant radio station <br />Way, way out there... <br />Plays in my mind, all the time, <br />Native American, <br />Western song and rhyme- <br />Sounds of a voice calling <br />From a true old friend, <br />Whispering wind <br />Blown in from heaven <br />Persistently pushes through me <br />Alluring awe and <br />Beckoning beauty... <br /> <br /> God, <br />I feel a million million <br />Miles from home. <br />And very often a way out there <br />In the desert <br />So all alone, <br />It causes me, <br />More than anything else, <br />To seek You. <br />This desert so stark and so real <br />My soul feels the wind <br />As it touches the pure sky of blue. <br /> And still-always it seems- <br />I'm a million miles from Home. <br />It's why I can't stay still, <br />Following the spirits will. <br /> I travel with nothing more <br />Than what I wear, <br />Old worn boots <br />Faded jacket <br />Hat for shade <br />Canteen for thirst, <br />I'll trust the love of strangers <br />With food to share, <br />I've no earthly roots <br />No place to stay and sit <br />Memories wander and fade <br />As I continue to seek <br />The Last and the First. <br /> <br /> And still-always it seems- <br />I'm a million miles from Home. <br />I feel it all so deep <br />In my weary bones. <br /> Will I ever make it? <br />Does the wind-spirit lead me there? <br />Blind I look, <br />Deaf I listen... <br /> Only my heart seems to truly understand <br />I've nowhere else to go, <br />Whether a million miles away <br />Or a million days <br />I will continue searching throughout this land <br />Until I find I know, <br />What yet I do not know.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-million-miles-from-home/
