If only the way
Was
Clearly marked

We’d
Never descend into
The dark

Yet through
Traversing
Uncharted ground

Are
We truly
To be found

Wandering through
The sculpture

They
Couldn’t help
But
Wonder

Are
They laughing
With us

Or
At 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

Of me

Beyond
Fragments

Face
Contorted
Just
Right

Holds
The camera
Real
Tight

Concentrates
With
All her
Might

Framing
Subject

Sight

Gives
Tiny bird
Such a
Fright

Away it
Flies
Out of
Sight

Styled his
Hair
Dressed the
Part

Today the
Day
For a fresh
Start

Rehearsed his
Lines
Memorized by
Heart

Today the
Day
For a fresh
Start

Mistakes set
Aside
Far from
View

Time today
To
Start
Anew

A
Map for the future
He now
Drew

Time today
To
Start
Anew

Success
Within his own
Grasp
Lies

Today
He’ll prevail with
One last
Try

Patiently
She offered encouragement

As her little sister
Slowly sounded out words
One by one

And painstakingly
Put complete sentences together

Realizing with certainty
For the first time

She would one day
Become a teacher

Children

At home
She
Decided to
Stay

Finally
Having
Her

Stretched out
On
The bed she did
Lay

Binging on
Chick flicks
All
Day

Feeling
Lighthearted
And
Gay

Not caring
The price
She might
Pay
