The Return

I return to birth place which I left in times of pain I can smell the scents of soil stuck in roots so deep All looks new to my vivid eyes trapped in the past Today I shall see my carrier who is still standing She is so fragile now but can cover long walks I return with nothing on my hands not even a stain of dirt My hands are so clean and soft that you can wipe your tongue I am returning from where labour is only endure by the mind Mama I too wanted to come with something like my peers But I return with nothing on my hands for now The pain that I left you with still linger my empty dreams Thou I am unlike the others what I bring to you is love What I have is crafted in my mind and encrypt with codes But I have the key to open everything now What I will open will change everything that seems blur Today I return exhausted with guilt of not fulfilling your expectations But I am glad that this world has kept space for both of us
