Prodigal Son, Truant Child

(Saturday 29th August, 2009)
 
I returned
But as Prodigal Son
Or Truant Child?

Didn't feel it
The magic was gone
Spirit vanished
Where was I?
And who?

This day I am foreign
Not what I was or felt like
Who came off the train?
And stepped back on?
Me Version 2

I abandoned you once
Now I was back
But you did not welcome
You rained
And chased me away
My feelings damp
Enthusiasm grounded

Have I moved on again?
Where will I ever be?
With whom I KNOW
But settle? I know not

Another failure
Not a revisit
But an admission
Yes I was wrong
But you do not forgive
This I see

One more for the chalkboard
Next please? No!
For it will be the last
And I will not fuss
Nor fidget, fluster or fight
This feeling
Must not pass on
