It Comes as No Surprise

It Comes as No Surprise

That outside the 

Land of giants

Everything again

Feels so small.

If after 9 months

It took me

Almost a decade 

To settle,

Is it really a shock 

That I'd return

With my head again 

In those clouds?

No longer breathing

Its air, bathing 

In Its water,

No longer standing

On Its earth, warm

From Its fire.

It's all

To be expected,

Yet painful

All the same.

PS: Israel has four main holy cities:Jerusalem (fire), Hebron (earth), Tiberias (water) and Tsfat (air)
