I’m Home

Rengil Mana-ay

I often sit and wonder if I should join you there not far from today. And when that day arrives, what if you’ve flown away somewhere? What if you’ve got tired of waiting and strolled in another time? A new beginning, a new life— I should be happy for you if that were to be so. But if you’re not there when it’s my turn, then I’m not sure if I’d still like to go. And when I am old, would you even know my face? Because I was young and carefree when the moon took you to space. And what if when I arrive, you won’t even know my name? What if you won’t remember me and my face and things won’t be the same? What if it has been way too long? Oh Father, I do despair! Please, won’t you wait for me so I may join you there? I’m sick of living in hell above Earth. Bring me to paradise with you, for in your arms. I know I’m home.
