***written for the draw:  One Way Ticket*** 

Destination: Home

My destination gateway

Closer now

Rolling in slowly from the taxiway

I can’t believe I made it

Alone in my row of bucket seats

Shaking hands

Trembling knees

I gather my things and stand to my feet

Racing heart

A sigh of relief

My longest journey to date

I am just a gate away

Running off the plane

Down the long hall

I collapse in your warm embrace

I am home
