Strange

Strange

Vexed with the deafening silence,
Actively going pathetic
My mind is crying in violence;
I am now a stranger in this known environment.

The mango trees in full height, they are still.
I see no more of their leafy arms sway in the air.
Am I not used to this kind of view?
Why in this place do I feel anew?

Wish I didn't have to be far,
If only I could paddle back to where you are;
Mom, seeing you makes me happier,
But leaving you is a heartache to bear
