Odyssey

My unquenchable thirst for returning to my homeland
Reuniting with the sacrosanct sole soul of my source
The thought of the joy of being with the angelic band
Sooth each nerve of my feet and reinforce their cautious course.

My wars, from the time of my entry into this landscape
Have not been for mere laurels, though glory and wisdom won.
Nor from virtuous thoughts, words, and deeds, I tried to escape.
Courage and commitment, in me, like blood and veins are spun.

Gods Zeus, Hermes; goddesses Athena and Calypso
Angels and powers of the galaxies and constellations
All  kinetic synergies of the universe, now know
This sage-like postulant's optimism-filled palpitations

Adventurously high is each step of my odyssey.
The Odysseus in me moves me meticulously.

So beautifully written Chris. Like Odysseus returning to his homeland, the desire for reuniting with the people and the land of your roots impel you to undertake an Odyssey. I can feel your heart's exciting palpitations! All the Best, dear friend.
