My Homeland - Polska

Inspired while listening to Chopin, a Polish classical pianist. Just feeling connected and nostalgic for what little bits of Poland I still remember.

I attempted to pour out my soul on paper

The way he had done so delicately through his music

Hearing it made me feel connected to that distant homeland

A place where great musicians, poets and philosophers

Came before me

A land with rich, moist soil and lush forests

Where the winters were hard, the food heavy and hearty

And the vodka strong

The castles majestic

The swans elegant

My memories fading…

I used to envy people "loving" the only country they knew......and being so patriotic.......now I feel we are more than just a citizen of one country......our humanity transcends a single, or even two passports.....when we remember where we came from, it can inspire us to stretch forward to reach as much, or even more, than our ancestors.

Thanks for sharing.
