Huddled
In the tent
For
Warmth

Engrossed
In a
Good read

Wishing
She
Was at home

Before
A crackling
Fire

With
Hot cocoa
In
Hand

The
Early morning
Silence
Was
Heavenly

But
Short-lived

As fishermen
Clambered down the dock
To
The waiting boats

Rods in hand
And
Bait filled buckets clanging

Eager
To crank the engines
And
Cruise the bay

Are
They laughing
With us

Tried
And true
Vagabond

Traveled
Here and then
Yon

Acquaintances made
Far and
Wide

Deep loneliness
Eager to
Hide

Many a year
Had
Passed

Since
Visiting home
Last

As road
Curved up
Ahead

Waning
Fear and
Dread

Arising
In
Mind’s eye

Crackling fire
And warm
Apple pie

Upon the threshold
Tears
Wept

As
Long ago promise
Finally kept

Over time
It’s
Become
Crystal clear

The Internet
Is
Permanently
Here

A tantalizing
Sword
That
Cuts both ways

Monopolizing
Time
Both night
And day

Screens beckon
To come
Sit
A spell

Like moths to
The flame
Our
Own special hell
