Leaving Home

Rough weathered boards creak beneath my feet,
Each step closer to the waiting sand,
Cool from the early morning breeze.
Wind pushes me to the water
It salts my skin.
A jellyfish rides a wave to shore
Another drags it back home
I’d escaped but must return.
Home waits in silence,
Beneath a canopy of maple leaves
It waits for me patiently
Alone in the stale air.
