COMING HOME - home is where the heart is

Below is a poem I have written this week for Carry On Tuesday.
This weeks prompt is "Home Is Where The Heart Is"

COMING HOME

Coming home

driving in the drive

turn off the key

and sit

be still.

Home at last

too many hours

on the road

too much traffic

in that city

too many lights

way to bright.

Home is where it is quiet

Home is where it is dark

Home is where it is peaceful

and welcoming

and familiar.

Home is where the heart is.

Home is also where your heart is.

It's good to be home.

LOVE IS LIKE A RIVER....

Love is like a river

never straight

never boring

never predictable

you think you

have it all

figured out

and then

around the next bend

there are rapids

turmoil

unease

scary love

then it calms down

and the river of love

glides peacefully

calmly

and envelopes

you both in it's peace

and tranquility

around the bends

over the rapids

through the calm

yes

love is like a river.

I found a blog. I have no idea now how I got there. I was meandering through blogs and looking at the blogs that that person follows and then I stumbled across this blog called Carry On Tuesday. Pop on over and have a look. Each week a new prompt is added and you can write a poem using the prompt as the first line. Have a read of her blog because it explains it better than that and I don't need to double up. So above is my poem for the week using the line - Love is like a river.
