Welcome Home

Lost in the wilderness For so many years Suffering the loneliness With no one to dry his tears. His sanity depending Upon his beautiful memories Climbing mountains never ending Alone with the valley's streams and tree's. He is escaping life's pressures The pain that haunts his mind Taking drastic measures Himself he has to find . Sleeping outdoors under the sky above Feeding from the land He remembers his true love and the life that they had planned. By campfire he's smiling Feeling so serene Her beauty so beguiling Tonight of her he'll dream. Butterflies ascending In his heart he knows Forever love he's defending and it follows wherever he goes. He gathers his belongings Packing them in his canoe The sound of rapids thronging He knows what he must do. He'll hug her eagerly No more will he roam Then kiss her tenderly As she whispers ''welcome home'' Any poem#16 contest Sponsor Poet destroyer A
