Home

The time in which the heavens
touch the earth
I will be there
Around the yonder bend
Past the billibong
And in the fields of tomorrow
where your wheat will be golden

And as the sun touches the earth
like the artiest
and whistles of the wind sing
to the toon of the birds
is the time in which you'll find me
coming home

And if you do not see me first
listen to the sound of the dogs
bark
and let them lead you back
to me

And in this heavenly moment
child
I will embrace you
my sweet daughter
for I am
Home

But do not be scared when I am gone
for angels will watch my every
step of the way

And when you feel all alone
just look at the time
when the heavens touch the earth
and know that I am coming home

-Meredyth Yorek

In this poem I used enjambment, euphony, personification, and simile.
