Coming   Home - Journeys Of Broken Dreams 

Strange journeys,
Of broken dreams, woodland  paths,
And mountain streams.
Long long walks between destinations. 
Motorways and country lanes,
Railway  stations 
Taxi ranks 
Cities and towns, 
Villages.
Silent journeys by bus or car
Long loquacious rides 
In eighteen wheeler’s luxurious cabs,
Travelling at the whim of this or that
Modern King of the Road, 
Paying my toll by easing his boredom
And not drifting into waking sleep.

Stolen kisses 
Exchanged for nights
In warm comforting beds,
A chance to shower clean,
Fond goodbyes, 
Long, farewell hugs 
Before starting off again.
On this journey of growth and learning.
Nearing and passing, 
Approaching and leaving 
Until the right time,
Until the petulant youth
Of the selfish ways 
Awoke from his coma of growth,
His chrysalid of unthinking exploitation
Into a being ready to give as well as take.

When that day finally came,
After many long months, 
Travelling to and fro,
When it was time
For those broken dreams 
To finally end
I came back to you
To ask forgiveness,
To make a fresh start, 
Appreciate things
Once taken for granted,
Hoping and praying 
it wasn’t too late
For the prodigal to return.
And your smile told me it wasn’t.
And so I finally came home.
