Overwhelmed and unfamiliar
now that you are home.

The noise and distraction of constant fear
now replaced with a different longing
no less important but yet more real.

Like a load of bricks
delivered without any instructions

This new territory will be etched
in our minds
in our hearts
like an unplanned journey brings lasting moments
defining who we are.

Are we an abstract work of art to be viewed in a gallery?
Or are we the earth bringing forth miracles?
