Come Home To Me
COME HOME TO ME
Beyond that mountain
Echo strides
Foodsteps faultless led by stars
Eager to assume our life
Master players in the game-- love wars--
Weaving, jumping by your lanky side
Snapping, urging on to play the rush
Is your dauntless canine friend
Eager for his own heart’s crush
That curls her lazy tail ‘round cradle’s bend
'Ere dawn near blaze
Dreams’s Drowsy time--
Reluctantly I free your hand
Slowly wake-- to mewling nudge-- our newborn babe
whose nuzzle blushes memories to my breast
Gathering wood--
Building fires—
Round the hearth
Some Women wait--
Some Women roam--
While weaving safety nets for
Children in a nest of home.
Hands upon a thousand tasks
While Heart upon a certain man---
Hand upon whatever chore
Knowing that the man beloved
Is whistling closer
Step by step
Beyond that Mountain
Dog a leaping, joy abounds--
Manly strides --familiar tunes--
As the North Star
Counts the joy of homeward steps.
