Notes About The Poem
Coming
Back
Home
Coming Back Home
Clouds of deep velvet drape the sea’s horizon
Overcast, like my spirits without you
Memories of our last farewell repeat
It’s your gentle voice I missed most at first
But now I ache for your touch and can hardly breathe
”Give me an answer when I return,” I said
But your engaging smile told me, “Yes”
And I can still see you standing on the dock
Clasping the promise ring I gave to you as we said adieu
Keep safe, my love, till I return
Here in my heart, I cling to hope you still want me
Only me in your life
Make my dreams come true when this ship docks tomorrow
Evermore is my foolish wanderlust quelled
