So long had it been
many years past
So long was my first time
to see familular yet nonfamilular blood
I'm running behind
first I get off at the wrong stop
Why donesn't anyone let me know
Where I need to be
Finally I await flight
trying to past time in reading
here I go
No looking back at well known skylines
hours pass and i see the smile
Warm hug and laughing tears
There she is
Inside I'm shaking
A long ride back but glad for it
the flight was longer and I couldn't stand it though
But there I was
with blood
With happiness
with family
Finally a chance to talk in person
alone sitting outside in the night air
Mountains before me
I break down into tears.
this is where I have always belonged
2 weeks pass and more blood is met
An aunt and uncle
Love is quickly felt
information and time well shared in few days
A grave I see and tears once again come over me
trying to remember a short lived 3 months
a wonderful grandmother who now is gone since 6 years past
But memories of her a fine mist of sea air
Tears flood me and a warm embrace is felt
My aunt is holding me close
sharing my sarrow
My sister could have cared less
no emotion does she show for family lost or found
Another week and soon I leave
My sis and I grow a little apart
but the love is the same
And now here I am awaiting to return
Back to the puzzle
to place more pieces again.
