Are You Back !

 Are you back...
are you really really back ...
I ask as you open your eyes,
but all you saw was an old man's torch in hand,
shining his light in -to your eyes, 
rather crossly telling him get that light off my eyes...
Yet again I ask you, are you really back ,
from your wondering's...
you've been away such a long time !!
you've been up-country down-country across-country,
north south, east west...
so I'd like to know my love...
are you really, really back ?
You've been through the chilly winds... 
 the rain from the palm of your hand,
to your entire body...those chilly winds,  kissing you...
I close my eyes and think about you, 
that vision so clear, so, so crystal clear...
in my mind I think of you day & night...
like a character in a story,
I knew you became mine...
as I close my eyes I can still hear your laughter...
your  peals of laughter that fills my mind,
with that unshakeable feeling that one feels,
deeply in ones core...
and yet again I ask, are you back !!
you astonishingly said, who are you ?
you could not remember me !
whom are you searching for ...
you I said, after all the angry words,
said and unsaid, I thought it was you...
am just a traveller going about here there and everywhere...
he said am sorry as he stared at me...
my mistake I think said I...
but deep in my mind I knew it was him...
he'd been away forever, it seemed... 
The sky became clear, just a few white clouds about...
by night time there will be rain, said the man staring at him...
then there was silence, 
the wind picking up,
that streak of lightning across my firmament,
a storm is coming, said the man, 
you better shelter in the waiting room...
who are your searching for... said the young man 
my son I thought you were son, 
we as strangers with an approaching storm...
got soaked drenching wet, as the man goes on his way...
All in all, yet again I ask are you back !!
never getting a strait answer from you...
your probably a character in a story of fiction, or a story of life
are you back !!
