On a Son's Homecoming (June 18, 2018)


The boy home!  The prodigal son returns!
From gothic towers to lannon stone house,
Arriving like he never left, he yearns
Only for milk and cereal.  A mouse
Would make more noise upon first entering,
Yet a day passes, missed sleep is regained,
And suddenly the boy is centering
His days on lost pleasures.   Tuesday it rained,
But Wednesday the sun came out and he ran
The same old route, he played the same old songs,
He drew a sketch in pencil of a man
Like one Rodin once did in stone.  He longs
To roam again, I know; for now, I'm glad.
Happy today, tomorrow I'll be sad.
