When time becomes undifferentiated

The shadows become friendly

The lights become intimidating

The colours all around meshes into one

The cold air becomes a constant companion

Inseparable from my grey routines

I stride ahead against the opposing wind

Somehow comforted and calmed by its strange chill

While the world around buzzed on in a hushed monotone.

Where the sun shines

Solitary distance spilled the truth -

Home is where the heart is. Always.
