I'm going home.

I'm going home.

A Poem by zubia

I'm going home in the same old car,
Travelling the same roads that I've travelled before.
Reflecting the brightness of the afternoon sun,
The road shines in the midst of apple trees.
And my vehicle suffers the same fate as me;
To the right, orchards pass by,
The left side holds no different sight.
I look out of the window
at the sky which holds its vast self.
And I'm thinking to myself,
That no matter what route we take,
The sky's above all as it was before.

Suddenly something tells me to dream,
My eyes are shrouded by the sweetness of sleep.
I wish to be at rest but my mind to roam;
But I struggle to hold my desire
Because I'm only a few miles away from home.

Author's Note

zubia
As we struggle to live, time leaves us behind like a surface on which a vehicle runs. We all take a route in our lives and get to experience a lot of things. As we approach what we've been chasing, we struggle with ourselves to hold our desires.

This is a graceful message about a meaningful journey, or seeing our everyday journey with fresh eyes. I love the imagery you use & the way your artful language conveys an invitation to see our lives differently. My favorite line: "suddenly something tells me to dream" (brilliant idea!) I hopefully try to see life this way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

you`re welcome
This poem gives a broader meaning that even though the path is same and much travelled the joy of reaching the destination is a bliss sometimes rather than the journey. Very deep poem and descriptive too.
