Home

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.
