Home To Love And Country

Staring out the window of the aeroplane that carries me home
All I see is sky, and a wing black against the rising sun
I am traveling home to my love and my country
Traveling across timezones, the sky a glowing orange.
It is filled with swept snow, glistening in the light of a new day
An exciting day.

I am returning home
I will see him for the first time in a long time
My nerves must surely be annoying my neighbour,
For I can feel them radiating out through my skin, covered as it is by a cheap blanket

I miss dinner and breakfast, forcing myself into a restless slumber
Moving 6 hours ahead, but time is not moving quick enough

Finally.

He waits at arrivals
And wears a smile in his eyes that says everything I feel
I am home with my love
And all is well again.
