Day 16-Home-NaPoWriMo with Magaly Guerrero 2015

I had been gone so long.
Duty can be a harsh mistress.
But, they are a young race
with much potential
and, as such, need
a strong Guardian.
I was honored 
to have been chosen.
My gaze shifted
to the glistening peaks,
pulling me,
in the distance.
The valley below
was robust with life
bringing to the fore
every hearth kissed memory
I had suppressed
during my service.
The sun blazed hot
and golden
making my body
sing with iridescence.
I let the tear 
that had sat un-shed
in my eye,
flow.
I felt myself fall
from the edge
breathing in,
breathing out,
scents and scenes 
of my youth
flooding my heart.
I fell toward freedom.
Towering fronds of the forest
were searching upwards
to find me.
I took a final inhalation
in this meditation of release
and then,
 I found it,
a breath from a God.
My chest expanding.
My wings rising.
I soar 
into the arms
of Home.

Todays prompt was to write a poem where the speaker travels to a parallel, but infinitely remote, universe.
