A Reply and some Rhyme - Be Warned

After a filling dinner of dumplings which traditionally, apparently marks the onset of autumn I write this post. I'm reminded of another autumn day in september about a year ago when I landed in Calgary Airport. A year! Is that how long its been? Time flies and as flying goes things so far away suddenly seem nearer. I remember it like it were yesterday and yet it was a year ago. The adventurous journey punctuated with breaks, breaks where I head out of the dream(nightmare at times) and go home to reality to face a life unchanging. Unchanging for me in many respects but people have moved on. People have changed lives, stock markets have fallen and risen and governments have changed but life for me still remained the same, a re-union with friends and loved ones, a community of people you know and will always know irrespective of whether you knew them or not. Unfamiliar surroundings breeds love for the monotony just as the monotony cries out for a break from the reality. To escape is one thing, but to live in escape another.

Sweet dreams are made of these.
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.

A break from a dream was what I sought,
Half a break I deserved,that I got!
Another half soon to come.
Too soon is not soon enough.
Bout that I wont bluff.
To sit and have no thought.
No worry- a dark blot.
No more thoughts for company.
No more of this company. :)
People real people I seek.
Where? Where from.
The future is bleak.
No more oil.
Hard Toil.

Life will change as it always does.
The fires will loose their fuzz.
The big ball in the sky burns brighter
Our hope. Earth's burdens lighter.

Worlds will change and govts will fall
But home, the concept of it stands forever tall.
Forever Tall. Forever and all?
