I Left Again
I left,again,for that place today,
For that spot we once called our own.
The charm,at arrival,had no less been dimmed-
Though the site looked so overgrown.
I felt,again,dismayed by its condition,
Grief tugging the hem of my spirit.
It could,I surmised,be so easily achieved-
To show grief I somehow need fear it.
I smiled,again,as I came to resolve,
I'd consume grief to fuel dreams unchained;
With freedom,hard swept,to blink back my tears-
To check what has left my heart pained.
I stayed,again,perhaps much too long,
'Cause time cannot pass through this gate;
But I,melancholic,knew leaving was apt-
That time impolite will not wait.
I left,again,somewhat better for coming,
A new resolution in mind;
Return,tools in hand,and start tending our place-
Bring back what we once used to find...
