Going Home


Going Home

On such a night as this
I stand by the window,
Dreaming of a land I once knew.

Of a broad river glinting in the moonlight,
Serenely flowing towards the ocean,
The beginning and ending of all life.

I dream of fields rustling in the breath of night,
Of trees whispering tales of old, singing
A lullaby to still the restless day.

All is silent, all is calm,
The starlit sky gently leans to kiss earth’s rim
And my soul takes wing.
