Poem: Homesick*

deep navy purple barely winks at me
from where it spans across this neon sea
glimpsing the wild in its silent retreat
as its edged with the paving of another dirty street
i’ve watched emptiness meander through this space
long forgotten silence is a long forgotten place
deaf to the notes within the song
failing to find where it can belong

the dance is missing from this town
its sad embrace just pulls me down

impatiently i wait to hear the chime
a chirping message telling me its time
while colored dreams and mighty plans sustain
pushing paths against the weathered grain
i watch the feet that carry me along
humming through the notes within the song
and watering the seeds that have been sown
i miss the things i’ve never really known
