Going Home

going home

joy has sought me out

            and I welcome her embrace

she settles in like a whisper

            not needing to be chased

she carries with her peace

            to comfort the angst soul

 

tomorrow’s work will come

            soon enough and so

I will melt into her presence

            and forget all my woes

 

not for exuberance

            nor sense of delight

she simply passes through

            to calm you

 

she waits for you to welcome

            her friend, gratitude

so that she may bring hope

            and the wisdom that exudes

proof of her presence

            and the manifestation that ensues

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
