Homecoming
Hritchita Paul
Whoosh! whispers the wind
Breathing in the pleasant September air
I ask,
“Did Pulchritude ever promise me a sky?”
— An unguarded sky
If I happen to find an unguarded sky
Along with it, will an unguarded love visit?
A love that won't apologise for being wild and uncanny,
emotion driven and maddening with passion.
That I would finally call it love and not the lust of Summer.
Looking forward to the arrival of this breeze
which carries the songs and letters of soulful autumn,
the fragrant of night jasmines and pearly misty mornings
Sure, it will bring the answers I've been seeking.
Oh, the comfort and reassurance of fall
‘things and thoughts’ settle in a note
Everyone & Everything
isn't transforming, as they say.
Instead, they are returning to their Rawest forms
When Fall arrives with its placid charm.
The clear waters get covered in yellows and oranges
Reminding me of change
But this change is not strange and different
This is the homecoming.
