In Flight

In Flight

by Maya Patel

The trouble with moving is that it brings disquiet

when you’re here, you long for there

when you’re there, you wish you were here

with each move, it’s like a part of your identity is on the move with you - constantly growing, changing, evolving

until you’re not sure what separates one part from another

until you can’t remember where you felt most rooted, most grounded, your happiest

because you know change is coming

uncertainty within uncertainty and all you want is home...

but home has multiple meanings now

and you’re in limbo until the next one reveals itself.
