The Returning
A pulling, I feel it
Like a subtle tug
Calling me back to a place familiar
Somewhere I've been before
Seen but forgotten what it's called
It's name escapes me
It twirls on the edges of my brain
Fading ever so swiftly
It's all a haze
But it's there
waiting to be remembered
I've lived there…I think
No I'm sure of it
It's a place I've felt love
How have I forgotten
The trees, the dirt, a colored gate covered in moss
The blowing breeze
How did I forget
A place where all things are together
Together! … ohh
I think I'm in pain
I've been away too long
I've been alone too often
I think I'm in pain
It's name I can't recall
Yet it twists and twirls on the edges of my brain
And it fades
Like all things fade
But I'll remember
I bet it's like a picture
A frame frozen in time
Always happy and young
Always cheerful and cherished
Always together
I feel it pulling me
Tugging at my sleeves
A force,
too powerful to name
It's course familiar
I am returning
That's what this is,
I
am
returning
And I do so without fear
Do not shed tears for-
I
am
returning
We all are
All things returning together
All things returning to one
All things returning-
Home
Yes! Home
That's what its called
I am returning home
