After following the wagon train
west for a few days, my mind
has wandered down Vocabulary
Lane once again.
I expected to speak of right
rather than left, farms instead
of cities, animals not pets and
provisions for understanding
food.
'Twas not to be! Virtually, same
lingo, but having said that, some-
thing felt different. Just couldn't
put my finger on it.
Part of it had to do with the arrival
of a long awaited holiday, the
looking forward to seeing fam up
close and enjoying the weight gain
of the TG banquet.
Then, I got to thinking that perhaps
what I was feeling had more to do
with older vs younger, working hard
and fast as opposed to a much calmer
approach. Maybe even, needing to
go to bed earlier than the family
proper.
Caught 'tween the pain of saying
goodbye and those joyous feelings
of going home, my heart actually
physically hurt.
So, I bid my sweet, sweet family,
"So long,farewell, auf wiedersehen,
good bye," adieu and shed those
tears painfully held back.
vocab aint for moi
still trying some on for size
call it what it is
