Return Journey
Distance distanced as yet,
as if mercury rippled forward helpless,
I stood there affixed,
like a stamp on an envelop,
location was altered,
so was time,
I was in a different environ,
away from mine,
everything looked strange,
they spoke words with little meaning,
and the sounds were new,
they laughed when I least expected,
and cried when I was happy,
everything was awkward and snappy,
on my tentherhooks and tense,
a lump developed in my mind,
and in my throat which I could find,
I do not know when all of these,
became day to day routine,
and the day came to stretch distance yet again,
and to return to mine,
so i did,
only to find they were strange,
and no longer as much mine.
