Journey homeward

In the echoing chamber of my soul I grapple with the shadows of my essence In a desolate expanse of loneliness I search for solace, a gentle caress To wrap me in tender embrace Igniting embers that thaw the frost within As tears of hope mingle with the warmth Reclaiming moments of elusive peace In the sculptured curve of a chest, I find Sanctuary, a haven where my sorrows rest Hopes, though faded, softly sleep While memories of the moment are made Mounting a path that leads homeward To the hush of ancient kin, where serenity whispers upon the wind In the silent embrace of ancestral lore Where peace reigns eternal
