Sojourning Valentine

Because you lived long in the other world
When the time came to settle in again
After many years of shopping around
 
Trying on the current eye and skin shades
Just to have a sense of what was going on
In the different possible locales
 
The big commitments had already been made
All the preparatory arrangements done
Leaving you a little time to look around
 
You could see how much had changed
Not much you couldn’t feel
Some clear compassion for
 
And now you’re leaving again so soon
For another long sabbatical
Your backpack full of love and questions
