City Light Homecoming

Driving down
From my mountain high
Headlights
Tail lights
Darkening sky

On the Sound
A sheen of cobalt and amber
Twilight
Cloud light
The last burning ember

A city beyond
Awaiting, my home
Hearthlight
Heart light
The end of my roam

On the journey home
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be

Not for its familiarity
Nor for its comforts
Nor even its dull grey beauty

But for its being
An integral part

Of my being

When I look back
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past

Some with regret
And, some, disdain
Though most with neither
This nor that

I think not
Of the world I’m in
The present
Not this very day

But all the worlds
I’ve yet to see
Which will also
Fall behind

This world
Of dusky blues
And blackened greens

This world
In which
Imagination sings

This world
Appears to me
In dreams

I travel the world
Seeking beauty
Finding it in abundance

Then I come home
Where I live in it
But sometimes need

A reminder
