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.
