The Visitor

photo-1562612692-20126aa98069

arrived

no calling card,

a bit disheveled –

didn’t talk a lot.

He left with his dinner-

only a crumb lagged

behind.

He didn’t

warrant memory,

but he remains

on my mind.

I imagine

he appeased

the Wind,

complimented

Torrential Rain,

grimaced as

he blessed

the Infernal Sun.

Temporarily

he was set upon –

set upon

to rile our interest

tantalize our interest,

and be gone.

I feel like a visitor in my own life. I have abandoned my former existence, more succumb than desire. I have embraced a new life and emerged quasi triumphant in plotting a path to growth. Yet, my heart longs for my roots. The tangled winding rooted path that I fled.

  1. Nice poem but maybe your comment at the end was not apropos. One should never look back, only forward. You have done what many people wish they could do—create a new life for themselves.
