Wednesday Feels
“Homegoing, is the first ‘Wednesday Feels,’ piece I have written in ages, if not years, that is inspired by” Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi.
Just like the novel, it’s a reminder that there are always aspects to this life beyond our control, guiding us to a place far removed from our reality, — an invisible hand pulling the cogs and leading us to a place where we never thought we needed to be, but needed to be, and I think that this is the phase of life I now find myself in.”
Homegoing
No matter how long it took,
We knew we would always return;
We knew we would always find ourselves here,
And no matter how many times we doubted,
We somehow knew that this would always be our path,
They say that your path calls you,
It seduces you towards it;
It sings a song that only you can hear,
And no matter how many times you deny it,
It eventually takes a hold of you and denies you any form of rest,
And so begins the journey home;
A journey guided by all that came before you,
And all that will be of you;
A coming together of things far beyond you,
And things that happened long before you,
