Ever homeward
Waiting destination
Year after year
Leaving last train station
Traveling forward
Allowing no backward glance
Final ticket punched
Cashing in for final dance
Journey’s sunset
Saying “hello” once more
Second chances
Taking life’s encore
Garden filled with dreams
Sprouting memories of home
Season to season
Riding free, ready to roam
Yesterday’s clues
Arriving with each breeze
Earmarked answers
Lighting up home’s marquee
Infinite sunrise
Forsaking final “good-bye”
Irreplaceable
Greeting Montana’s Big Sky
This poem reflects upon many memories of my native state of Montana, which will always seem like home. Perhaps each reader will experience his or her own homeward journey of memories, just waiting to be revisited again.

Brought back memories of my childhood spent in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. You never know what you have until it’s not there for you anymore. We have since visited but it’s just not the same without my family there.

Indeed! I like to tell people that Montana is the last, best place. Of course, I’m just a wee bit biased.
