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
