NO FIXED ADDRESS
For Ray and Janice

No fixed address
It’s where my heart lies
Out on the road
Amongst the flies.

No fixed address
As pilgrims we go
As worms through the earth
Turning sod, moving slow.

No fixed address
New friends we will toast
Email only
No snail-mail to post.

My fixed address
Is hitched on behind
Off down the track
New vistas, clear mind.

My fixed address
Shared with those we meet
No known number
Never ending street.

My fixed address
Is deep in my heart
Alone with my God
A guide on the path.

My fixed address
Creating new maps
Across a great continent
Wheel out a few laps.

No matter the address
Red dust settles deep
The Centre holds heart strings
Friends and family to keep.
