This tiny autumnal November poem highlights repatriation after a long residency abroad. U ensuing culture shock, emptiness and feeling lost is very real. You may speak the same language, but something essential has changed.
One can never fully return to what was and should never want to, but it’s possible to start a new chapter in a familiar place. This poem emphasises the benefits of how lost I felt and often still feel.
I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading.
And do let me know what you think in the comments.
Day 3/30 - Prompt: LOST 💫
Surrounded by my life in boxes and cases
Feeling empty like the house
Take a moment to reflect
Nearly three score years and 10
A full circle
Older, certainly
Wiser, maybe
Experience richer, definitely
Was this move necessary?
Yes
Is it the final one?
Depends...
