On Hold
When you are away,
No matter for what,
Reality’s paused or on hold
And waiting at home,
With the mail, are the chores
And the problems you need to unfold.
Some you might have let wait,
Others simply popped up
But once back, they are all within reach
And you quickly forget
Your hotel or your tour
Or the days that you lolled on the beach.
Though a break from your life
Is important, you know
It has limits and goes by so fast
That as soon as your plane
Touches down, you can hardly
Remember the time that just passed.
