When I Came Back

I walked in the field

Saw the sun rise

The meadows covered with grass

Listened to the chirping

Fresh air blew my hair

I smelled the soaked earth

walked on the edge of the field

I twirled around

I set a foot in the green grass

It tickled my feet

I quivered

I floundered till the end

Tears filled my eyes

Took a last look

And hastened away

I never thought I needed to leave

It was time to go

I thought I would return again

But when I came back after two years

It was not the same

No field

No meadows

No fresh air

No tall green grass

Just a pastel- colored, faded, diminished
