I'm Home - Maeengan Linklater

I’m home

It’s been
a long time
since
I’ve seen you

I can see you
sleeping
covered
in a blanket
of snow

I’m going
to wash myself
in the moonlight

Wash away
the city smell
and join you

I can feel
stars
sprinkle down
on my face

Feeling
the wind
whisper
on my skin
cleanly

Wrapped
in a robe
of Northern Lights
warm

When
I last
saw you
you kissed
my lips
goodbye

Going back
to the city

I’m home
again

Can you feel?

My body
next
to yours?

My hand
holding
yours?

For when
you wake
in the spring
morning

I’ll be there
watching
the sun
warm
your face
and your
eyes open

And
I’ll
be there
waiting
to feel
your warmth
