Home Again- a poem

For when I read, my mind escapes,

Into a different place.

Sometimes it is in history 

Or poetry, with grace. 

At times it is so far away,

Into a different land.

Adventure on the hills of green

And waters by the sand. 

But then reality checks in

And brings me back to now.

To normal days and all our ways,

That keep us sane somehow. 

Returning to my life, I smile

For realizing when,

The best part of “going out”,

Is coming home again.
