"Home to You"

Here's a poem I wrote a few days ago...


The winds keep blowing,
Life keeps on going,
And I wonder:  what does it all mean?
Then you appear;
I blink, my dear,
And I'm mesmerized by what I've seen.

The tides will ebb and flow,
People will come and go,
And I never seem to get the timing right.
So I'll wait on the cusp,
'Till I've waited enough,
Then close my eyes as my soul takes flight.

The world keeps turning,
My eyes are burning,
And I wonder if you could ever see:
All the thoughts in my head--
The words that stop dead,
Are still there, even though you're changing me.

The rain will keep falling,
My past is still calling,
And sometimes I don't know what to do.
So I wait for the sun,
And sometimes I run,
But I'll always come back home to you.
