Back Home: To You & Me ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

This new chapter—
with you in it—
has been more than I ever could have imagined

Our love?

It’s not just love
It’s a revelation
It’s revolution of the soul
It’s exposed me to dimensions—
deep layers
of connection
of intimacy
of support

And though physical presence feels like oxygen now…
What we’ve built?
Oh, what we’ve built—
Intentionally.
Deliberately.
The way we’ve poured
into each other’s wholeness
into each other’s healing
has made this storm feel a little less violent

The memory of your touch?
It still lingers like the smell of you in a room you just left

The way we’ve showed up?
In words,
In silence,
In spirit—
It’s the light, guiding now
Through every unclear step

The comfort we’ve shared?
It’s more than memory
It’s a trail
And we’re walking it
Now
Across this vast expanse
of impasse and ache
To find our way
Back through the silence
Back through the waiting
Back through the distance—

To find our way
back home
to you and me
