This is a poem I wrote one day when I was feeling particularly 'homesick'. I have fallen in love with another country that I am in the process of planning to move to. I feel more at home there, than I do here in the country of my birth, which is ridiculous really when you think about it, but I have some how never felt particularly attached to the country of my birth.
My Heart Yearns For Home
When I look upon your distant shores
my heart yearns for home
even though my foot has never set
itself upon your fields
my heart yearns for home
I can not place the moment when
this transformation occurred
but your soaring vistas
snatched my breath and stole my heart
now I long for home.
