Homewards Bound by Supatra Sen

 

Andreea Ch

Homewards Bound…

When paths diverge 

Dust gathers

And forevers become fleeting

When passion turns to mere duty

Time to return soulwards

My very own

Home…

The old old home

Housing my multiple versions

The innocence of childhood

Impulse of teenage

Solitude of later years…

The quaint balcony

The room on the roof

The solitary armchair

The scent of old books

The gentle echoing greens

With the large window 

Through which the moon peeps 

Creating magic each night

Wait with quiet patience

For the traveller to return 

The old home stretches its lonely arms

To greet the weary 

The wise old trees

Bend to shelter 

The cloud comes peeping 

Through the lonesome window

While the many versions meet and mingle

To commence the journey

Homewards

Inwards 

Soulwards…
