I leave the house in a hurry
And forget to glance in the mirror.
I return home late afternoon.
When I finally set eyes upon my own reflection,
I smile as
I see not much has changed since yesterday.

North Wind
The north wind always finds its way
Into my bones
Demanding me
Return
Home.

Bring Them Home
We rise to the highest point
We see.
We bring with us
A flame,
One that has withstood much pain.
And with the flame comes much desire
To burn,
To burn.
To burn
Much higher.
To be seen by all
Who are fighting far from shore.
Far from home.
Their sight dim.
So burn brighter than before.
Burn brighter for the whole.
To bring,
To bring,
To bring
Them home.

Misery
Some people
Keep a place in their home
For misery.
They invite it to come sit by the fire
And welcome
Misery
Feed them
Fine lies
By hand.

Time
Like a phantom
Time has
Stolen itself away
I always thought i would return home
Whenever i like
Only now
mom and dad
Are both long gone
Still i step upon familiar streets
Still i walk barefoot
The grass reminds me
unspoken hurts
unspoken love
Laughter echoes in my heart
Cigarette smoke
Clouds my eyes
I see them there
Amongst the fall leaves.
Fallen dreams
So quickly tossed about
By
Children playing tag
With no
Attention
Paid to time.
And i smile.

Crumble
Some people light a fire in you,
Some people put it out.
That is why you must be the keeper of your own flame.
When everything crumbles,
You are left standing alone
Realizing
You are your only
Hope.
Begin again to rebuild
On a foundation of self love,
Precious
Stone by stone
Your own
Home within.

My Home
on the open road again
sunlight in my eyes
windows down
and the wild wind whipping my hair about
i breathe
and keep driving
with nowhere to go
radio turned off so
i can hear my thoughts
my heart
and the birds
i go down any road i wish
and soak in the beauty
i touch the beauty
this beauty that rescues me
and holds me up
reminds me everywhere is home
i am my home

The Dock
The boat is easing up to the dock.
My friend you have returned
And tears fill my eyes.
Alas the reflection of the summer sun
Upon the water stings my eyes
As I frantically search for you.
My heartstrings play your name as my feet
Carry me to you.
Arms and legs no longer heavy.
Heartbeats fall into sync.
Our smiles speak of perfect happiness.
Bliss unspoken.
And there upon the dock we are home.

Me, Myself and I
I ran out the door.
I ran hard and I ran fast
Until
At last,
I crashed into myself.
There I lay in the stillness
And I poured out all
The hurt,
The sadness,
The disappointment
Of a lifetime.
There I was empty
Yet
Full.
Ready to rise and begin again.
Ready to
Be
Me
Myself
And
I.

Atoms and Cells
There is this burning in my belly,
This aching in my breast.
I struggle to keep my heart contained
Within my chest.
It is just the thought of you,
For you are not even near.
It’s just my atoms
And cells
Retain
The body of you.
Come home.
My heart will not stay still much longer
For
It is not where it belongs.
It’s just
What I must endure
While I am
Imagining
You here.
I am
Aching and breathing.
I am
Aching and dreaming.
