On returning to a town where I used to live (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones

Not much has changed, really, and what has changed has not changed much. But I remember the tiny details of the place Nuances of the streets and my memories And so I notice the small differences Like there is a Starbucks now Making here more like everywhere else. But oh! the light! the same light Same streets five years away Rejoice! Light refracts from stone and seawater, Castle and cathedral Clouds and headland To create atmosphere. I remember now This return is not as weird As I had imagined.

Can't truthfully claim to have ever been to St. Andrews - but having read this I don't think I need to ;-)
I wonder if I'll feel this way about Cardiff when I leave the place. Much as I love it, I think that may be a long shot...
