The Crooked Way Home
for all i've been and done
for all those plans that failed
and those calamities
and catastrophes
and dreams i chased
that lost me
and left me broke
and cold
and wondering --
for all the hearts i broke
and those who broke mine
and for things
i've done right --
things what won
me bread
and praise
and lifted me
and fed me
and kept me warm --
for all that
good and bad
and holy
and impure
which fell as though
conspired
by angels
to bring me here
to you,
to us,
to this, our warm hearth
and good home
for all of that, my sweet love,
i am thankful
for all those plans that failed

Author's Note
how I got here -- the good and the bad, and all the many twists on this crazy crooked way home. Circumstances have me thinking about such things -- how terrible and wonderful life is, how frail yet powerful we are.

Beautiful sentiment Java!!!
"how terrible and wonderful life is, how frail yet powerful we are."
Is that not the truth!?!?!?
At times, things in life, timing of events , they are magical how they come about...how they connect or came to be connected.
I have been stopped in my tracks at times by the wonderment of it all
Even the bad, when it has hit, for some reason unlocks a chain of event that is productive and healthy life-wise or becomes so...fascinating.
DU was brought to me and embraced in such a manner, where truly I am sentimental of/for it.
Apologies for running with the me,me,me's
This was an excellent Pen of expression, it felt like an unload
Just the energy of it all in exacerbation and final release to peace
