Long Way Home

Sometimes it's nice to be pointed
in the direction of home
and without any warning at all
do a 180, a wild hair to roam

I think it's what life's about
exploring new territory and running free
being away in a lost direction
when I'm lost, I sometimes find my way to me.

I purposely lose myself
for tiring of the same direction
to find bits and pieces of me
to see me in a different reflection

180 here and there
maybe write another poem
gathering new perspectives in life
just taking the long way home.
