Westerly Home

by Will Read - Gemini


The weathervane reeled atop the steeple, and rounded sharply upon the wind of destiny. 
And said weathervane aligned itself to point me westerly, and home.

So I packed my bags to leave. For signs and signs and signs are many in this short, living life - But the only signs that matter are the ones you heed.

I walk... And angle up my shoulder to the wind, The rain. The snow. 

And walk. Beneath sterile moons and rice paper suns. A mind now fixed upon horizons of the heart.

Until. At last, I reach the waterside. My hope. My love... My pride.

 Lie twinkling on the other side. 

Reason for writing:

    Home.
