Revisit this place
Eshwara Prasad Dec 2022
Why aren't any eyes looking in this direction?
Why aren't more people drawn to this location?

Why don't they just stop by and take another look?
There is no doubt that if they return, both they and the location will be more alluring.
What was once abandoned must be revisited rather than forgotten.
