Poem: Again the Leaving

Again the leaving
again the returning
like blood leaving our hearts
only to return
like library books
or ships at sea
or lost loves
or senses
or souls

Time and place and person
tug us back
to a certain harbor

Always leaving
always returning

Let us look to the heart
of the pulsing stars
and hope
fully
the returning is to the harbor called God
