Think about the time
Is your day an offering?
Did you plan it well?
Homeward bound to Heaven now
I sail onward through the din

loosed in its fury

violent thrash in splendor

secure the path is

never to return homeward

the unknown will keep him warm

Migration

summer wings
take flight in September
humidity
    heavy
too weighty
to lift
your
   cursed curse
and
   lighten
my load
homeward bound

Goddess

Homeward hey?
I must say bye.
A kiss, a kiss.
This time I will dearly miss.
An earthy dreamy goddess.
For now then Im a mess
God bless

Into warm luminescence
A silver chimes’ homeward call

Scarecrow Stress

With his new gift he was homeward bound
Scarecrow signs showed it was no longer sound
scientist stress
his life was a mess
looking for his mind in the lost and found.

Homeward Bound

Burnt rubber
from grinding gears
awaken mine nostrils

Thickened fog
'pon darkened roads
embrace my sight

Four smiles leads a path
distance fades
as forty tons push me down Forty

Noted - Contest

The tranquil notes of an artist
fill the air taking him homeward
to a dead players jam session

Premium Member A Tragedy

A tragedy, a train derailed. 
Not far in deep grief of the scene; 
homeward-bound it so tried, but failed.
Burnt cork smell and images seen 
veiled as they lay upon cold ground.

Golden Sands

Hands twirled
The magical wand
Feet skimmed
Over the golden sands
A celestial sojourn
My butterfly was born
Draped in colours
She cushioned my feet
So long
I'm homeward bound-

One-Way Ticket

Homeward bound, I had a one-way ticket,
Pleased; it was stashed safely in my pocket.
          Showed it at the counter,
          “Wrong route”, said the teller.
I should be at home to fly this ticket!

Premium Member My Old Home

On my village's dusty lane,
Temple bells hum afar,
Bikes rumble, jasmine swirl,
Dhol , flute music echo, 
Elder men sip chai at dusk,
Steps echo homeward bound,
Heart drifts back to that old home.

Premium Member Battle Tested

As the battle rages on

We are but the few

So many are here and gone

We are but the few 

Standing solid on the ground 

We are but the few 

Still alive and homeward bound 

We are but the few
war

Home

You see,
More kindness will be seasoned by the strange of strangers.
Rather than the ones that have known you forever.
Till the crows come back around.
A strange of a stranger will neighbor the kindness for a homeward bound.
