Back home again, though home it had never been in the physical
Yet always in the spiritual since the very first time
Something about here,the land of whitewashed houses that haunted memory
Where gulls dipped low in perfect skies that could easily have been painted by the artist's brush
The ideal canvas on which to give her time its full stop
The first time, as a young woman she had bathed in the calm of early morning sea
Waked barefoot over sand dunes to the dying of the sun
Now dying too her final wish fulfilled, the wanderer returned
Contrasting fortunes, a place unchanged by passing days
To a face changed older, accepting fate with arms wide open
Death was to be, stage now set for the last curtain call
The finale of life, here the heart would lay to sleep
Over the pines her spirit could soar, rise like an eagle
Float with ease over sundappled sails of passing ships
By harbour lanterns pass unnoticed through wandering crowds
Breath was more shallow now, gasping at times
Sleep like the spin of a roulette wheel, chance to re-awake
As the still of night descended, gentle breezes swept the room
By morning empty silence stood, life passed

I feel, being home, isnt meant in a material sense as life isnt about materialism. Sadly many do think of it that way. Home is where the heart lays, is how the saying goes and I believe it is true.
Wonderful write!

| The yearning of going home, home where her heart now lies, I really love your spiritual painting, every heart needs this empowerment from our spiritual home, when our last breath, comes home to re- unite with the spiritual (winds.) Raquel Leah :D |
