returning

Should I go back?

Return the way I came?

If to complacency,

If to fear of the unknown,

Then I say, no.

Thank you.

There is nothing for me there.


But if to joy -

Ah, the fullness of that word,

The possibility 

In its reality. 

Joy, I would take 

The road that lead me

Away from you.


Slowly, maybe,

Anxiously, at times.

But forward

Or backwards, 

Whatever it meant

To find it 

Once again.
