As I look upon -
The sprawling fields of home,
My face aglow with the biting wind,
A wave of serenity washes over me.
The recent days seem to get harder,
But returning here,
Offers me sanctuary -
A peace found rarely, becomes me
The humming of my thoughts,
Quiets to a whisper,
My shoulders droop,
My heart settles,
The noise stops.
Not forever,
But just enough -
As a bird starts to talk to its friend,
As the crops murmur to each other in passing,
A tune of my soul’s creation,
Playing in my head.
I am at peace.
I am home.
