Homesick

My heart floats home with the crackling leaves

It flies away with the migrating ducks

It rattles along on an old lonesome train

My heart rises with the fog of a tranquil pond in a pasture

It settles in at the dinner table of my childhood home

Ready for a nice steak dinner with my family

 

Author's Note

I guess I need to make a trip back home very soon. I think I'm homesick. Back to the plains.

God I love that Escher pic that accompanies this delightfully whimsical excursion "home".This line reminds me of where I live....."My heart rises with the fog of a tranquil pond in a pasture" Lovely meandering journey with such few words. Well done Marie. Hey do all the pics we post show up that large? I like it and I happen to love Escher. This was a journey befitting his memory.

Having spent twenty years in the Navy, home-sickness is a mallady I know very well. If you haven't done it yet, I'd recommend that you get back home for a visit. So much can pass you by while you're away.

I love this. I'm feeling very homesick right now, and I found this beautiful. Thank you! :)

I could see the heart and body both in separate places..
but still linked. I know this one all too well.
