A brother sets out
Chasing a runaway heart
Blazing through the night sky
A sister remains
Making a wish back home

This place isn’t mine
To carve my odd shape into
…
I crossed the world to find
that fear can permeate this place too
I flew halfway around the planet
but would you believe me if I told you
I’m still nowhere to be found

Such joy to see you returning so healthy and happy! With a spring in your step, no less, and a sparkle in your eye, holding care and forgiveness in the firm grasp of your hugs.
Granting acceptance with your presence, you return the missing to the damaged.
Everyone you touch finds themselves at least a little more whole for it.
Faraway moon shines
across so many borders
on your eyes and mine
We walk together
I’m squinting under the high afternoon sun
While you’re shielded by the brim of your hat
I’m not saying much but
I’m hanging on your every word
…
Wanderer returns:
I wonder how my face now
reflects in his eyes
Journey concluded:
Has travel changed the view
in my direction
An important friend returns from a long journey.
Songs can really rewind us.
Lay down your head
On foreign pillows
You spirited traveller, you!
Friend departs again
Happily, I see more joy
In second crossing
