the way to come back

and now i’m here
blown carried
by a desire
to connect
to be still
to bask
once more
in the radiance
of friends and family
to reflect
the light
the warmth
to refract
but keep true to
the laws of physics
of love

why am i drawn here
not elsewhere?
why am i drawn to you
not anyone else?
why
in this place
in the company
of these people
am i open
ready to change
burst like fire
like a chance risked
a path taken
to find adventure
new people to love
old ones to miss
and then finally
the way to come back
