Tranquil Passage

Is it time?

I have waited

and wondered

and wished

at times

for longer,

but at last

it is time.

In the moment

I thought I would feel

trepidation.

It seemed that such

a significant transition

would require hesitation

before embarking.

While acknowledging

elements of unknown,

I am not afraid.

If birth

is but a sleep

and a forgetting,

might not

this be also sleep

but a remembering?

For upon departure

I am simply taken home,

back to love

and peace

and all that I once recognized

and have forgotten.

Taken home,

to that place

I once knew.

Is it time?

It is time,

Welcome home.
