Toward the middle of homelessness, I wrote this poem The Earth Is My Home.  It speaks exactly what I was feeling at the time–a clear delivery from Mother God.  It’s about home, putting love at the center of well-being, and having nothing to lose.  Please enjoy and share.

The Earth Is My Home

I don’t have fever today.
I don’t have cancer that I know of.
both my parents are dead,
so they can’t die.
I don’t have any children,
so my children cannot be taken from me.
I don’t have a home,
so I can’t lose my housing.
I have no valuable jewelry,
so it cannot be stolen.
I have no fortune to be
cheated out of or lost.
I have no property
to be polluted.
I have no van to break down
and need to get fixed at high cost.
I have no job to be fired from.
as you can notice from this list
and the life I choose,
all I have is love.
I have nothing to lose.
all I have is freedom.
it can’t be taken from me.
I never had sanity.
all I have is time.
I can’t be fully imprisoned–
I’m free in my mind.
all I have is love.
love is more than enough.
I’m so rich it’s funny.
there’s no way to tax me.
I have no money.
this tree I rest beside is priceless.
I love my own fat body.
the earth is my home.
I have everything.
I have love.
