    My Heart Yearns For Home

    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.

    this is a very emotional piece.
    a real exquisite of a poem .
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    thank you - I certainly felt very emotional when I wrote it and still feel that way. Some days are worse than others but the pull to be there rather than here is still very strong.

    strength appeals to writing it is the best time to write I find.

    Its the only way I can write, poetry especially but prose as well. If I'm not feeling it, not in the moment, I can write functional prose but the magic is missing. At least IMO.

    I make myself although i may not always write to my best i still go on writing everyday
    i have many unfinished nonsensical pieces
    sometimes i just want to write for the sound of it
    poetry is intricate but never tricky
    the idea is to go with it and see where it takes you even if it is not perfect.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly
