Homecoming – Author Scott Thomas Outlar

By Raja's Insight on August 25, 2017 • ( 3 )

I close my eyes for the briefest moment

and catch a glimpse of a tiny black dot

in the back of my mind

hovering behind my eyes

that suddenly explodes in red ignition

like a fiery halo

burning over a vast horizon

singing to me sweetly

luring me in like a siren

with a gentle whisper

to return

to come home

to be as One

again

finally

in absolution

Excerpt from the book

“Happy Hour Hallelujah”
