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.
