If you go away
For quite a while
You’ll be surprised
When you return.
The small things
The smells
The trinkets
Those memories
You’d lost
Maybe purposefully
Maybe not
But they are there
And they welcome you
As if
They had sat there dormant
But breathing
My wonderful people

Lovely words John. The poem highlights the small, often overlooked details and experiences that evoke nostalgia and a sense of belonging. Captured well.
