Coming Home Treasured time theived by unyielding hands. Father Time sleeps not, bawling dogged demands. Hundreds number nights theived by the tide when I should have slumbered at her precious side. And, the child left wishing for my hasty return became a young man without a father to turn. The sun crowns mountains as it rests once more casting shadows across this lonesome floor where the woeful heart and burdened soul roam and endless longing resides in want of home. Soon, the day to arrive when lamentations subside and weight of despair will be seized and tried. Foul desolation to fall with the gray edge of night as our home again fills with love's tested light.
