I'll be home soon

I'll be home soon

and the chair in its proper place

and the light in the twilight window

soft and violet

in the milky unlit evening room

soothes as a dawn or noon time blaze can do

and I know having lived through many of them

and always amazed that they feel to me

as they've always felt

an eternal moment beckoning to me locked in this skin

for its appointed time

for the time when that that body's done and the soul unlocked

takes its place in that soft waning light and

have no fear of anything dear

when that time has come

I'll be home

I'll be home soon...
