Change

The distance back is longer

Than it was and is difficult

To traverse for what we left

Behind has not stayed behind,

It has changed, given way to

What doesn't like to stay still,

There is not even a footprint

To show we were there when

We were there filling the place

With our presence and thoughts,

The inexhaustible hope must still

Be there in the air filling hearts

Looking to leave behind the city 

With no place for them and find a home

Where hands, not faces, are wanted

To go back is to find out that time itself

Never stays still and changes what stays

And changes what leaves for change.
