Long Way Home

I’ve fallen in love with this poem, by Mark Nepo. Thanks to Val Boyko for sharing it on her blog.

Find Your Middle Ground

LONG WAY HOME

I want to have a conversation
that we can return to without
conclusion, one that lasts for
years, that feels like a walk
that has no end. Until the walk
itself is home.

I want to converse this life with
you, the way the old horse and
the young bird trudge and circle
each other in snow.

I want to reach with you into
the heart of things, where the
stitching of the Universe
shows its golden knots.

~ Mark Nepo*

I want to share this beautiful yearning with you.
