Commute to Caledonia

A chill of fresh air

Awakens me from my slumber

I see headlights in the distance

Becoming brighter with the waning sunlight.

My routine,

My life,

My everyday journey.

I saw you rise -

A majestic circle of yellow

Warming my face.

And now...

I see the splash of colors -

Pink

Purple

Orange

As you wave good bye

Now

A good Samaritan

Brings me to a stop at the neck

Of a familiar dusty road.

I am counting my steps

Caz the increasing number

brings me closer to

Home Sweet Home
