Poem - An Exodus - What Say Thou?

Question

With suitcase in hand

He departs yet arrives

An exodus

Memories return

As living images

A looking glass

Donning silken thread

That adorns too tightly

Time progresses

Family and friends

Surround and suffocate

Contradiction

With suitcase in hand

He departs yet arrives

An exodus

Answer 1

Each day is a new beginning, depends on ones attitude.

I truly like the poem, so much said, few words very insightful. Bravo!

Answer 2

What a journey the exodus remains, having to wander in the desert before getting to the promised land.

Answer 3

Departures can be rough, but they are also beginnings.  It was only when I left home at seventeen to find a real home that my life began.  It was only when Israel left the security of slavery in Egypt, that they became a people. We live with contradictions, but in reflection find freedom.

Answer 4

Picture perfect, word perfect, heart wrenching. Thank you, Marguerite.

Answer 5

This is a haunting memory...
