A chapter in the book Heart Crafted Poems - 2022

Homeward Bound

by JLR

Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Yet, at times I ponder, not a newbie any longer,
who and why while struggling with what and where?
Hither heavenward, if there is such a place, go I.

Who but I could have possibly chosen the right ways,
the wrong ways, the lonely highways, dead ends.
Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Hither heavenward, if there is such a place, go I.

Why, the sad times, happy times, up times,
down times, pissed on and pissed at the world times?
Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Hither heavenward, if there is such a place, go I.

What keeps the heart ticking, head thinking,
soul breaking over and over when enough is enough?
Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Hither heavenward, if there is such a place, go I.

Where would I rather be, if not here, if not now?
Puzzling, marveling, thinking, my God, WOW!
Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Hither heavenward, if there is such a place, go I.

When ... I care not to know, before its time I go!
Incomprehensible, elusive, intriguing for sure!
Not a newbie any longer, still I wonder!
Hither heavenward, hither heavenward, hope I.
