***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
