Poem by: TimothyC
We all have them. We all experience them. Our own “moments” are impressive, magnificent, devastating, life altering……. Today, I realized I am never at “Home”, that Home is a mirage and always
over the next ridge.
What makes me today is the life I have had, the efforts I have made, the lessons I have learned, mistakes made, successes experienced.
My losses, my gains, my pauses, my pains….
my loves, my friends, my enemies and where ever the river bends……
I see through everything, but I cannot see myself today.
I feel for others but I cannot feel my own needs.
I am a beacon in the cold dark night for my fellow man, but I stand alone.
I am the man I want my daughter to love, but I do not know if she sees the same in me.
I am running on empty, empty from running. I just want to go home, hang my hat and hear my mother call my name. I want to hear my daughter laugh. I want to hear my Fathers fiddle and smell
fried Okra from his skillet.
When will I be home……..
