“So much of our time is spent running from ourselves, or hiding from the world.
There is a feeling that you should go home,
and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is.”
– Pico Iyer

Thank you,
and goodbye.

I will now use this sadness as a lesson,

This curse as a blessing,

My trusting heart to be open,

and this solitude for compassion,

As I now hold all those golden memories as little treasures.

The beautiful souls live on within,

For if I never see their faces again

I can always return to my dreams,

to relive the moments where life stood still

And everything seemed at one.

Where I once felt that I’d found home.
