A New Deck
Travels far from the home place
ask the traveler to contemplate
what holds them to the land
from which the path first led
identity is bound to change
morph to fit the present day
diverging from the fair wishes
of those who saw the natal day
these circumstances are enough
even though the crowd protests
to establish a new reality
so much more set in verity
those departures that life insists
relevance found that persists
is the hand now surely dealt
from the top of a new deck.
