Keith O.J. Hunt Poet Rhyme

I Came Home Again

Across those fields I came home again,

   my foot fell assured 

   on those frozen seas of white,

   again ----

That Titan-Crunch neath me,

   those twinkling red lights

   dazzle still, and the puffing chimneys 

   alight,

   with certain company, good food

   and bright eyes

Alive, how the horizon has nestled hopes,

   snug windows of firelight ---- 

   stars of the earth,

   and the moon just aloft to make a crown;

Above the heavens gaze down,

   among them those celestial spheres,

   (an oft traveled dome)

Of this I am certain;

   without err and pause ----

If Christ were here,

   (he'd call it home)
