HOMECOMING                                      
By Lorenzo Lago

haven’t I dreamt
my arrival in our home
coming through the door
hugs and laughter
from the living room to the kitchen

it has been so long and too long
not share in your warmth
your love has never stopped pulling me back

I can feel everything
it rests comfortably
here in my chest

I miss all your smiles and understanding

keep the light on
I am only hours away
I am ready to gather all of you in my arms

nurture me again my family

the evening stars guide my path to your door
I am only moments
till my past and present are connected
