MOVING DAY

by Terry Olynik

M oving day
O n the first
V ans overflowing
I nvoking friends aid
N ew expectations
G eographic realignment

D reams reconstructed
A life restarted
Y et again

Author's Note: On the first of each month the sidewalks in the neighborhood all seem to be blocked by moving vans - as people moving in wordlessly pass people moving out.

Just moved- I can relate. Good description of move and emotions attached to act. Loved the last 3 letters- I felt the same way! Very enjoyable read!

yes, yet again. The movement is so cyclic.

Indeed Happiness is not a function of geography and this is the message this piece says to me. As Ashok said, it's cyclic, moving externally this way and that, while internally we move in circles, arriving nowhere.
