ZIGGY

TAKE LEAVE

take leave from city streets
constant illumination, head west
through urban sprawl to where
the night sleeps easy.

take time for roads less traveled
to those of grass verge and gravel
follow the thoroughfare walking
along its centered spine.

take note of the sward, what\'s
there within its keep the hedgerow
along its ditch that creeps, harvests
meadow lay golden.

take heed of your direction
remember my words the land marks
and the turns to where I
eagerly await you.

take sight of my humble abode
your journey comes to welcome end
open arms a joyful embrace
thoughts exchanged there after.
