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

Migration

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

Little honey bee
flying wild and free
sees flowers all around
now he's homeward bound.

From his grandmother's house departed

As he was homeward bound

Thus ended up back where he started

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

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

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.

Acres of Tears

Acres of tears
Mark her passing
Enriching the soil
For time everlasting

Head bowed in sorrow
Sad sight to behold
I no longer have
Her arms to enfold

'Tho body is gone
Her spirits around
This person who made me
Is homeward bound.

Premium Member Chinese New Year

Spring festival
Auspicious colours
Painting town red


Reunion dinner
Grand celebration
Hearts aligned


Homeward bound
To gather again
Good times come around


Joy sings
Spring chorus;
Familiar red packets


Laughing faces
Jolly feasting:
Memory subscribes

Mother Nature's Gift

Nature walk in spring   
Wonder what the day will bring    
Dog kept on a leash   
As we pass a field of sheep  
Stop to help pregnant ewe  
Trapped in fence her head pushed through    
Homeward bound we should sleep sound

Moon Dust

Dust falls on my brain 
Covering the craters of my past
The surface lays undisturbed 
As I want it to be
Until I am ready to ascend
Like the Lunar Module
Blasting away the few footprints
That I have left behind
I am homeward bound 
Amongst the stars

Table of Thoughts

Beyond companions 
Trees without sounds
Birds homeward bound
Winter’s passing thru
Emptiness in view.

Rekindled
Day bids goodbye
Night stands by
All is kept
After nature slept

Edge of night
Not dark or light
Dim lit sky
Nature will fade
Time does trade
Form: Rhyme

My Concrete Haven

Most cry all night without making a sound, but I'm the only one
that feels blessed for what I have found. The distant stares into a world that is
unsound;The joy I will feel when I am homeward bound. The steel that contains my
body is very heavy; my thoughts will always be steady.

Homeward Bound

My heart is sad
And the way is lonely and long,
And there is a fear
that I may be lost.

The sun is set,
And the sky is gray and cold,
And I am, oh!
a home bound solitary bird--
Forlorn and perched
on the branch of a dead tree.


~"Home Sweet Home" contest by SKAT A

Antipodean Autumn

Riotous, raucous —
Rainbow parrots’ feathers fly.
Acrobatic clowns

Three great crows regard
The thrown away takeaway —
Keen, sharp, purposeful.

Butcherbirds on wire
Bowing and fluting in turn
A twilight concert.

Black wings on pink dawn.
Flying foxes homeward bound
To roost  — full of fruit.
