David Nickle Read Poet Free verse

Long Gone

Long time gone,
humble return,
made right wrong,
felt the burn.

Come back humble,
lesson learned,
I did not stumble,
I did get burned.

Seeing the leaves,
forgetting the roots,
seeing self leave,
missing new shoots.

Never again,
the fool I've been,
seeming insane,
error so seen.
