Today’s word is “mal du pays” ... homesickness. (Dictionary.com)
Return
Can you feel mal du pays,
For a place you’ve never seen,
A place in imagination,
Where you’ve never been?
A promise from the past,
Made by the holy one,
For those who will believe,
This one and only son.
We give up what is dust,
For a place where evil’s barred,
Where light and love reign free,
And no one is on guard.
We can not see or hear,
From this weighted space,
What light and goodness make,
When informed by grace.
