The Wanderer

The wanderer, the ponderer I am
will soon return home.
Home from the shores of Asia
to the coasts of California.
California, with its unique touch
and unique people.
People that I love and know
people that are relatives.
Relatives who I have missed a lot,
lost touch, and missed.
Missed the feeling of being with family,
that comforting feeling.
Feeling at peace and as belonging,
as belonging still.
Still after being gone so long
from my relatives.
Relatives who care and worry about me
and other people.
People who live and work
in California.
California with its people and touch,
the place I call home.
Home, where I'm returning
the wanderer and ponderer.
