Home

Let me stay home.
Tonight I fly the starry sky,
Tomorrow I cry and cry.
Look at my eyes,
These tears they shine with memories,
The summer days; The summer nights.

Let me be home.
At 2120 hours that plane I catch,
Look out your window,
Stare at that sky bereft of stars.
And maybe you'll see my airplane,
And we'll pretend it's our shooting star.

Let me go home.
These cards and letters I read,
Those memoirs I keep;
Arrayed faces and places,
Secrets and revelations,
Indeed the last dance is complete.

Let me remember home.
The sighing breeze;
The singing trees.
The breaking dawn and the melancholy twilight.
Things once unkown,
Carved now on stone.
To never fade even in the darkest day.

Someday, I'll know.
I'm already home.

I'm home.

For SeaYunn; for those who shared days and memories with her.
