The long walk home

i[b] have been lost on the roads in my mind forever...My childhood got lost on these same roads of wild love and hot summer nights...My heart was found on these same roads with gentle love and sweet memories...At the same time my heart was lost with tears and angry words...Roads all lead somewhere don't they?Now I am on a road that turns and twist and goes deep...The path through my soul..I am learning each turn with sweet time...I run then I walk..I am afraid then at the same time I am brave underneath the sky...Sometimes we all just need a long walk..To think or not to think...Sometimes the silence is so beautiful to the ears...The quiet so soft to the eyes...I watch the shadows play in the darkness..I am not afraid those shadows are just the me I lost along the way...I am learning on this walk...Up ahead I can almost see the clear path...The light...It's the old house of my childhood in the deep green grass of home...My grandmother is back from her trip to heaven and she sings as she sets in the old swing in the yard my papaw made me and my sister...My papaw is smiling and arms wide in the waiting...My sister is still little and she is waving for me to play...As I get closer the little girl in me starts to run I am small again maybe just 8 and I run the sweetest run...I am back home in my heaven...In the arms of love.. I wake from the walk...Sweet dreams and long walks home...
