My Home [POEM]

There is longingness

to the place where one belongs.

I left my home and went beyond

To see the great horizon,

I brought with essential things

As I set forth to adventure,

I have a blast from being far

Away from my childhood home,

And with my taste for wanderlust,

It only made me want for more,

I experienced sleeping outside

The comforts of my own room,

The stars above served as my light,

And the ground beneath as my bed,

But something was tugging my heart,

Pulling its strings somewhere else

Yet I ignored the distant calls

Of the one pulling said heartstrings,

So I went to climb a mountain

And enjoyed its scenery,

The cities and towns far below

Looked smaller than that of my hand,

But someone was calling for me,

Vying to gain attention,

Yet I ignored their pulls and calls

As I continued travelling,

Soon, I ended up in a woods

That's infested with silence,

I could see the natural homes

Made by animals, big and small,

Again, someone was calling me,

And it makes me frustrated,

So I followed this secret string

That's been tugging me all this time,

Lo and behold, I arrived home,

And tears rolled down from my eyes,

I guess this is how one defines

The meaning of hiraeth,

The home I haven't seen in time

Welcomed me with open arms,

Ah, memories of my travails

Cannot compete with my own home.
