Homecoming
Composed after a friend returned home from the hospital, and republished in light of Rita’s second return home 10 February 2021
Welcome Home
Wonderful!
Answered prayers
The boat - The Four Winds -
has arrived safely
in port,
anchored.
The sails are furled.
The red ensign flies
on the wings of the wind.
There is Peace,
Freedom is abundant …
Colour
Beauty
Yes!
Ready to go again
Yes!
Life itself!

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
