Know Home

January 20, 2008

Warm coffee odor hangs in the air
The coldness burns my fingers when I open the window

What if I experienced more of the burn and less of the warm?
People outside live the burn
Know no home
Live the burn…know no home

“Last night I found this great bush…”

Know home…

Choice, mistake or failure
Know no home

My work has a heater,
my car has a heater,
my home has 2…
But I know home,
I live the warm

The burn I feel for 40 seconds
as i open the window
to deliver
$5.00 coffee
to someone whose world…
…has 4 heaters

Someone who knows home…

Call him what you will
but that bum
that drunk
that failure
needs Jesus as much as i do tonight.

And all he wants
is to
know
Home
