“Arrive”
I know the day nears
when we will welcome you home.
Patience is trying.

I know the day nears
when we will welcome you home.
Patience is trying.
Steve D
Continually
drawn away from the moment.
Center. Refocus.
Steve D
Run the mental math.
Uncover all potentials,
but wait not that one.
Steve D
Eyes bright with wonder
unveiling your thoughts and hopes
one glimpse at a time.
Steve D
Months of separation,
disconnected, specter friends,
until met again.
Steve D
Dignified eyebrows
and tuft beard gives little pup
an old dog spirit.
Steve D
Watch expressions shift.
What thoughts flicker behind eyes.
Discovering you.
Steve D
Footprint sticks in mud
resisting every next step,
stamping down in spite.
Steve D
A hundred marbles
clatter to the floor to clack
in all directions.
Steve D
Mingling in a group
feels like a luxury we’ve
all but left behind.
