Return to Family

Return to Family

A Poem by FireFox9

Infinity bends before my dimming eyes
As I wonder if this is death
As my mind wanders I hear many voices
They tell me it's not my time
To go back and return

I don't want to leave
I truly don't
And yet I know I must
So with tearful goodbyes I turn away
Returning to the place that killed me
And yet it didn't kill me
Now my thoughts remain
On what I left behind
And when I can return
To return to my family
Para volver a mi familia
Per tornare alla mia famiglia
Um zu meiner Familie zurückkehren

To go back and return.

" don't want to leave

And yet I know I must
So with tearful goodbyes I turn away
Returning to the place that killed me"

Infinity bends before my dimming eyes( this line really portray an ending world...)
As I wonder if this is death
As my mind wanders I hear many voices
They tell me it's not my time
To go back and return (this stanza complement the first line very well)

Para volver a mi familia
Per tornare alla mia famiglia
Um zu meiner Familie zurückkehren (i don't understand this but it sounds nice the way i pronounce it)
such stanza deserve audios or us to know the pronunciation

It's German, but thanks. Fox-
The pull of family love has brought many back from the brink of death.
Love this little poem.
