I lay my body down each night - the only peace I know. No matter where or what I fight, I never stand alone. Bruised and battered, weary, worn we weather all to rest and then with daylight’s shackles shorn we settle in to nest. Tomorrow, we will rise again and face an unknown dawn But now, just love and nuzzle in Let souls embrace and yawn Home is where you lay your head, but more than that, it’s you. (written in Cherokee, NC before we went to perform in Gatlinburg, TN in June 2021)
