Dear Self

I've missed you.
You've traveled
miles away...
far away from me
only to return
emptihanded.

Why have you
allowed yourself
to be misguided?
Did you not hear me
when I called out your name
in the darkness?

Did you not
see me when I
opened the door
to let you
come home sooner?

Don't leave me
without bringing with you
all the things
that can help you
find me all over again...
so glad you're back.
