For the Returning

For the Returning

You will return. This will frighten you.
Don't be afraid of getting bored. Don't be afraid of tasting vanilla when for so long you've bathed in magical spices. Even vanilla has a smokey sweetness that can mystify the tongue.
Don't be afraid of feeling alone amongst your friends, a stranger at home. You will know them by their qualities. You have always known them.
It's true though, you can never go home. Not to the home that was before. Now there is a new home, and it will take you time to feel comfortable after moving in.
Yes, the same rooms will be there, but their meaning has changed. That's all.
Sometimes you will dance in far away fields, only to find yourself returned with a jolt to the cafe, the bus seat, the party, and you will feel lost.
This will frighten you. But do not let it. Others will always dance with you.
