another world

city
of my dreams
flowing through
me, like mirages
to a lone traveller

city
of my dreams
i come soon
to reclaim
my place among
your children

city
of my dreams
i dream day and night
of you.
yet
i carry a heart
full of dismay
for i leave another city.
a city-
another world.

city
of my dreams
i come with timid steps -
a son that left home
only to return now
