Much To Embrace – Written Tuesday 9th May 2023 (Aged 48)

Much To Embrace

i am craving the familiar
when i heard your voice
i hung onto its lilt and its tone
no,
i do not feel alone
but,
just something that feels like home
when i spoke to hannah,
it had been years
since we had been in touch
but familiar days
fell readily into my cup
but comfort,
is cake,
that you are convinced you need
i am craving the familiar
feeling nostalgic,
but never blind
there is no point dressing up previous times
they are now closed branch lines
in fact,
memories that bind
i know i will settle in
and i will feel the sun upon my face
because there is so much to look forward to
and much to embrace
