Homeward
My spirits are crushing -
Anxiety, blushing,
Giving words to depression's dissertation.
And in activity, haunting -
The threat is there, taunting,
Praying for a moment's isolation.
Through the journeys I'm hiding -
An escape that I'm striving,
Postponing that self aggravation.
But with darkness, approaching -
Lost minutes to poaching,
Coming home, the last destination.

Homeward bound
Relinquishing will, slowing down thought flow,
stripped of desire, presence yet pulsates,
alive, aglow, aflame with bliss,
resplendent in its own light,
standing without support,
thus divine entwined,
vibrant and poised,
grazed by grace
in the
void.
Staid
silence
enables
discovery
of our inner light,
innate and eternal,
reverberating in heart;
soundless thunder in renewal,
being but the breath of God of course,
beseeching our soul to return back home.

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,

Homeward Bound
Would you walk from east to west
Or vice-versa, there and back
Would you take the smooth highway
Or the lesser used old track
Of course there are other ways
For travelling far and wide
It's all found in the journey
And on what one will decide
Some days you'll be far away
And you may wake up alone
But you'll find a direction
As you

Homeward Bound in a Sea of Troubles
As we harness Fate’s wild winds to our lee
While navigating Life’s troublesome sea,
We become flanked by Scylla and Charybdis
With only our life experience to guide us.
Yet try we do, and we sail on through,
Life’s rocky straits where others can't save us.
Before muddling on through Atropos swirling brew,
Knowing we’ll lose many close friends around

Homeward, After the Last Day of Work
Here I am again, in a familiar silence
Inside a bustling place full of lies
In a bench of solitude, my preference
To watch the world as it dies
Before my senses, before my sighing eyes.
I see silence amid the rushing crowd,
I see silence confined in the traffic jam,
I hear it in the children who laugh aloud,
In the sound

Homeward Bound
May our loved ones always light up our lives... And our way in the dark....and may we always find our way home no matter how far we roam.
Homeward bound
By Michelle Morris
21/04/2020
I am like a ship
Sailing out at sea;
I am homeward bound,
Wild and free.
No matter how
Far I roam,
Every adventure
Leads me
Back home.
For our

Homeward
We had breakfast on the Champs-Élysées this morning at Café Joyeux. Their croquet monsieur (a breakfast sandwich) was to die for - one bite can cure a hangover. They also serve a deep, rich Yirgacheffee coffee (€15 a cup) that I think God stirs with his little pinkie finger - it’s THAT good.
We took

Homeward Bound
It’s been a long time since we talked, many days have passed
A bitter road I have walked but those days won’t last
For I had lost my way in a test that I always fail
As I forgot to pray and thus this story of that tale
The pandemic had come causing my routine

Homeward Bound
I didn’t know, for it didn’t show for so many years.
The slowing steps, the memory gaps
The creeping years gone by.
Then one day, it came my way
The mirror doesn’t lie
It’s that woman whose wrinkles keep coming
Asking where and when, and why.
Memories fade, eyes become glazed
Only secret thoughts remain
When age overtakes us, and families forsake us,
What
