Poem 17. HOMECOMING

of a wandering mind

The bells are ringing
The music is playing
They are all smiling.

"Welcome back, honey!" they say.
"You're so beautiful today.
We're glad you've found out the way."

"I was lost a month or more
Sailing in, can't find the shore
My cabin seems without a door."

"Cheers! You've passed the test.
Come, lay down and rest.
Tomorrow will be the best."

my pretty friend... often times we got lost in our way to home, like there is an endless darkness that you're walking blind... though even in darkness you'll always find light along the way, it just takes time to see through...

cheer, welcome back my pretty friend...

Thanks, Pax. Baliktad naman ang mundo natin now. Ikaw naman nagmo-motivate sa akin. Rainy season kasi eh. Nakikisabay din yata ako. Hehe. Muse ko yata now ang rain. Hindi ako maubusan now pag tungkol sa rain.

this poem takes a positive attitude... hopeful as well...

Great return with salvo and expressed well, poetized. Nice use of the rhyme scheme.

Wherever you may go, you can't deny who you are ...and you'll surely come back to where you're from. The wandering mind has now gone back home.
Thanks, Sir Ency. :)

That's right if the genre is in your blood, it runs to your veins and arteries towards your heart and that's the way you live with it. You're welcome Daisie.

I love how this embodies a teens struggle through depression and finding the light at the end of the tunnel...and going to homecoming with confidence and beauty.
This is just a random online read! I loved it.

Haha! Teen struggle... I'm not a teenager anymore. Treat me as an old woman here.. which is the truth. Glad you like this poem about going back to reality. Happy reading and writing!

[Soleil RunningWild]

no problem! I am not teenager anymore either.

Wonderfully depicted homecoming in this rhymed piece.
Rhyming three lines stanzas in blue ink charmed my heart and eyes.
Thanks for sharing.
