They were skeptical about new places,
Skeptical about meeting new faces,
They dreaded socialization,
And feared societal re-integration.
Never did they dare contemplate on relocating,
As resolute as roots, they were keen to hold on to their way of living,
No time to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good,
They felt some dubiety about new beginnings
And on their ground, they stood.
One day, they heard a rushing wind of change.
Troubling whispers pierced their ears
till they felt an urge to engage
Tossed, to and fro, they scattered and landed in new places,
It felt like a new dawn and some
Seamlessly transitioned in the new spaces.
In verity and in totality, they divorced unfounded skepticism,
New places gave birth to new perceptions and optimism,
They dreamed new dreams and sailed,
They set new goals and like a noble eagle they blissfully soared.
