Really feeling every word of this!...
"Someday, I would like to
go home. The exact location of this place, I don't know, but someday I
would like to go.
There would be a pleasing feeling of familiarity and a
sense of welcome in everything I saw.
People would greet me warmly.
They would remind me of the length of my absence and the thousands of
miles I had travelled in those restless years, but mostly, they would
tell me that I had been missed, and that things were better now
I had returned.
Autumn would come to this place of welcome, this place I
would know to be home.
Autumn would come and the air would grow cool,
dry and magic, as it does that time of the year.
At night, I would walk
the streets but not feel lonely, for these are the streets of my home
town.
These are the streets that I had thought about while far away, and
now I was back, and all was as it should be.
The trees and the falling
leaves would welcome me.
I would look up at the moon, and remember
seeing it in countries all over the world as I had restlessly journeyed
for decades, never remembering it looking the same as when viewed from
my hometown."
