I’m coming home

From far flung flings

and flailing things

like starfish arms, gripping rock, torn by tide.

.

I’m coming home

to truth tuned tightly

and played upon my harp

like melodies that echo in the wind

from unplucked strings.

.

I’m coming home

in isolated indigo tiptoeing

in Indian moccasins, like flocks I’ve seen

in creeping dreams.

.

I’m coming home

only you will know me

dancing past in dazzling light

and carried on the breeze

but you will know

when I am home.

  1. I love this poem and especially the ‘truth tuned tightly’ which allows for so much of the normal life situations we wrestle with — lovely!
