Many years ago
I considered myself a poet
Because of all the thoughts
That could not be contained
In a sentence or paragraph
I once wrote a poem entitled
You Can Come And Go In My Life
I did this for two main reasons
To express how deep I was
And how much I was willing to grow
As it turns out all those years ago
I was not kidding around
You have come and gone in my life
And the good news here is that
Each time you have gone
You found your way back
So here we are decades later
Having created a center
Around which we can orbit
Navigating our way through
Space and Time and Always
With a sense of place
A place we call home
