Coming Home

Fly Above (Stacy Wills, 2013)
3" x 4 1/2" alcohol inks on yupo


I am returning home
after being away...
I am met 
 with
exquisite silence.

The wrinkles of 
brain and brow
begin to smooth...
soothed
by the comforting hand
of the familiar.

Breath prayers
rise and fall...
i n h a l e
e x h a l e.

Birds, old friends,
come to call.
How long has it been?
How long?

O blessed communion
of I and thou...
the sweetest homecoming
of all.

  1. Wonderful poem! Coming "Home" to exquisite Silence, the Silence of communion of I and thou... My favorite "homecoming" as well :)
