I flew back from a place I felt like I belonged to a place where I no longer belonged. I had tears in my eyes.
 

It was Late October.

Prompt:

 

• Option 1: In light of this bittersweet instrumental by Harold Budd and Brain Eno: What does this piece evoke in you or inspire in you that might be a story?
   
• Option 2: Do you have a story where you took a trip somewhere that you came to feel that you belonged only to have to return back to a place you felt you no longer did belong? Why did you feel you needed to go? What problem did you seek to resolve? What were the bittersweet feelings that you had upon making this trip?

I bid you peace.

Autumn in Eden

 

It was late October

And the world was a little slower

And the jack-o-lanterns smiled without mirth.

 

Life was a little easier

As we drank the new wine

And we talked about the frost upon the earth.

 

Things we couldn't say

Stayed between us as we lay

Examining our souls for purity and worth.

 

We were found wanting,

Not knowing what we wanted

Banished from that place to roam the earth.

 

We know the mark of Cain.

We know that special pain.

We have seen Eden's glade.

If only we knew, we had it made.

[MrM]

So very beautiful, James!!

 

There are worlds within worlds of meanings in that poem!
