Headed home
from across the world;
it’s a long way
to go but I’ll
be thinking of you
without stop until
I arrive. And longer
still. This flight
is not long for my mind
to be full of you for
you’ve filled my mind
every day for nearly
twenty five years now
and so a trip halfway
across the world is nothing
and one that I’d willingly
and gladly take as long as it meant
and means returning to you.
