when I returned
lost and beaten
through the woods
to reach where I belong
no one was there
to welcome me
except the scorching trail
and the ruins beyond

It’s often tough to travel back in the past, things change even if we don’t 😦

Yes, and more often than not, we may not be as likely to accept the change.

I love this poem. I am wondering the context. I imagined a sort of “you can’t go home again” theme as I was reading it.
