It’s been a while since a walked on that road
Smelt that grass
Stood in front of that gate
Climbed those steps
Lied down on that bed
Sat on the sofa
That's my place of being
Each inch of my body and soul aching to go back
To return,
Into those comforting arms
Oh how I wept.
When the place I spent my flying hours
I would see only as a guest
The mornings of solitude
Staring into the distance
Trying to pull back my home
Why can’t things be so easy?
Why can’t this world lay down a rosy path?
Now I am here.
Without a certain past
Building up a new life
From scratch
Complete disempowerment
Total grounding
And yet I stand,
Eyes fixed at a certain goal
Hardening my heart
Making my mind the commander
Of my soul
Like a China glass covered with steel
The heart learns to live
Still weary of being broken
Wanting to run back
Turn back the time
To bid a proper goodbye
To go and touch the walls where I learnt to draw
To feel the steps where I learnt to walk
To eat from the platter that developed my taste
The terrace where I learnt to look beyond
My world where I came to be
Take me back on a different road
Take me Home.
