At long last
I have returned
Like a weary
Soldier home to
The mother land
Back to the
Familiarity of self
After conquering the
Men of distant
Lands near and
Far leaving littered
Hearts along the
Way home now
To lick wounds
Like a dog
After a fight
Swatting away carnage
Like mosquitoes I
Finally find the
Peace that I
Sought calmly all
Alone with me
