It was a Good Day - I am Home

For a moment I saw what might be

Standing there on the edge

Carelessly,

Staring into foolishness,

Teetering,

But then loving arms

Throughout the day

Drew me to the warmth

Of belonging;

First, calloused hands

Brought me a simple cup of coffee;

Warmth.

Tenderness reached

Emeralds and diamonds

that looked lovingly at

me

Drawing

me

Further still.

They each came today

From their distances

And their differences,

Each blessing formed in me, of us.

The eldest made grits, with eggs and cheese

As he sat awhile, laughing

As only he can;

Charismatic, illuminating,

And then our priceless pixie

Woave her giggles

Intricately around my heart

And drew me further still;

Alas, the moral one,

The chosen one, came,

And when I would fight

To stay in the prison I had made

For myself alone,

He encouraged me,

His spirit kindred to . . .

What I remembered I once was,

And then suddenly

I was there,

We all were,

And there is

Nothing more

beautiful.

              Only one thought haunts me.

              I think across the waves of lonliness

              The depths of heartache

              Where widows weep alone,

              Where no one ever comes home,

              And I am so ashamed

              Of what I have taken

              So for granted.
