In between the take off and landing


    In between   the  take off  and landing

All the formalities completed,
like the  gentle  cops’ interrogation, a
duty  which  cannot be abrogated,
reaching  the gate, with  saddened memories
and farewell, for   you are  going to be away
from home, from near  and dear ones;
 your home, which is not only a living space,
entity infusing life  and breath every minute
every corner, every object of your catch,
every utensil and every scar on the wall,
floor, hands reaching to redress, broom
and brass lamp, a regular  cleaning;
after all these , reach aircraft, your seat belt,
 feel of flying high; the azure and the accompanying
wings , wondering inventors’ other  side of  God;

At times, with a jerk, landing in a land either new
or familiar, entwined with new objects, new faces,
entirely clogged  in new climate; sipping   cup of coffee,
back home, your  kin and growing curious to know
about  every plank  and panel ; inescapable.
