Day 184: Take Homes

The idea of take homes is simple, something you get carry back with you. something that stays in your mind for sometime as reminders of something gone. They are the mellow tunes you listen to, when you are driving back home or simply driving to places unknown. They are sunsets in a bottle kept somewhere in your mind, they are fresh air and a glass of drink kept somewhere. They are writings on the go, on sides of napkins & pages unknown. Till much has changed in the definition of what is now. We will all have these travel blues, these extra suitcase of memories to which I have written earlier. At journeys end our realities keep calling back & the take homes remain. I am never giving them away, and as we repack and hit restart we keep them close. To the take homes we get to sometimes keep, our great days & sometimes in our good night sleep.

Take Homes
Sometimes the take homes just fit in your head
They are larger than life, to fit elsewhere instead
Experiences and memories that we get to carry home
That are bags we love to always carry along

I have written to suitcases filled with memories
Things we let go and the ones we always get to keep
And the new ones we made even if for a day
The restless reminders of things you took away.

When you travel back from places that seem familiar now
Where much has remain unchanged, unforgotten somehow
And you take long walks as the sun slowly sets
Your journey reaches the end, as you move on & hit reset

To those that will matter in the scheme of things
In knowing we had our moments, our little losses & wins
I am keeping this feeling , I am never giving it back
And find my take home messages while you slowly unpack
