the poetry knook, the poetry of stephen m. james

Walking home

My foot crushes a dead leaf crunching,
Wind whispers between my legs and pants in my ear.
The chill chides my choice of one shirt rippling?
Dreaming of warmth walking home,
Shaking at the thought, shivering at the cold
Walking home.

EXTENDED NOTES

AUTHOR NOTE

walking back from the cafeteria one night i stepped on a dried leaf that the wind moved right in front of my stride. the following morning in chapel, i pondered, "what will it be like going home, after all the pain and suffering of my mortal life." oh! to feel the warmth of God on my face.
