The Homecoming

The wind’s warmth gently breathes into my veins As the road winds through a familiar passage. Across the dusk canvas a welcoming aura emanates From the city and streets I once called my own, This is my homecoming. Smiles dawning on the mouths of friends in waiting And mine, mine as well as I know the joys to come… Where trails converge tales emerge, old new alike Cheers to you you you, round round round. Lives change change, love weight work Lost gained gained lost, yet no one’s really changed. The old refrain sang and sung, off key in harmony Midnight wick sits searing, behind the window pane. From the town I loved, the road winds away My gaze now content on faces in the dashboard Smiles dawning on the mouths of family waiting And mine, mine as well as I know the joys to come… This is my homecoming.
