Nostalgia

In the dimming light of the evening,

As the sun burns itself out for the day,

With Yanni pouring in me emotions heartening,

An unprecedented wave of nostalgia inundates without asking, "If I may".


Teleported a thousand miles my memories evanescent,

The scenes conjuring around me ineffably resplendent,

An inordinate longing for all I miss overwhelms me,

But isn't sacrificing 'something for something' this world teaches us to be.


Drifting reluctantly back to hard reality,

Picking up a pen to express all this coherently,

Reminisce I do now as a warm, joyous flame rekindles slowly,

In my mind envisage I for all back at home a life of boundless joy, bliss and vivacity.
