~ Back to my Continent

                

Sigh, it is good to be back, on earthy ground,

To taste a fine red wine, and read the Newspaper

     I was far away, and missed my music;

     The roads, and the chaotic streets,

I think I might have missed, a decennia,

Of not being wrapped up, within the love of Europe,

     But more in the weightlessness of love,

     Where one can forget herself, to the wholeness

Of another, and the art of slipping away,

By doors, as gateways, to a new year each time

      I wonder, and have wondered for so long,

      How the taste felt on my tongue again, of this

Fresh made coffee, and the croissant from the oven

He just made for me this morning…

Just vivid. Nothing academic I can or would want to say about this. Vital, you drench the reader with a sense of you. 'your music', 'wrapped up within the love of Europe', 'the art of slipping away'. That last line fascinates me. Do you slip away through loving another, do the doors trick you into thinking that the time stands still? These places are indistinguishable, ten, fifteen years later, when we return and are ourselves, unrecognizable. Love it

I so love natural, for there is so much in life so academical, let us breathe into the realm of home, hope and happiness. There is nothing more beautiful then live on the day, and breahte the air, of every continent. Once back home, there is routine, but where isnt't? home is everywhere I root, and have some followers... Thank you G. Lovely review. :)

*breathe....

There's no place like home. No matter how wonderful the places we visit, no matter how picturesque, the feel of sitting in your own kitchen and the taste of drinking your own freshly made coffee out of your own special cup can not be compared to anything else. Lovely, Elisa. lydi**

Thank you for your encouriging lovely words Lydi, once again, there is a smile from ear to ear here... ;) -x-

Being away from home can be an adventure and a harsh pain at the same time. I do love this write and especially the last few lines;
''Fresh made coffee, and the croissant from the oven
He just made for me this morning…''
Makes me feel like some nice hot coffee and a croissant :)

Thank you for feeling so home with me, Australia :) lovely words by you my friend! -x-

[MsJewel]

No matter where it is - there is no place like home. A beautiful description of the warm security of a familiar place. I could taste the coffee Elisa. A beautiful, beautiful poem.

There is an old saying in gaelic, ''nil aon tin tan rud a thin tan fein'', it means there is no fireside like your own fireside, I think I get what you mean, it's lovely to travel but it's hard to beat the feeling of being back in your own place.

Thank you mo chara, for such a keen insight here... yes, there is so much truth in that.... sigh... I think I'm never home, at one place, for the world is "too much home for this heart". :)

Odd once, I had left New Mexico for florida, and the wave of alone over took me so much I returned . Just across the State line past Mule Shoe I was pulled over by the Black Gold Stripped New Mexico State Trooper,
I nearly gave Him a big Hug. You reach over give that man a hug.

Lee, omg, thank you so much for your review, and coming over, to my Space trip, back to Earth, I love your points of view, sincerely the Alien of WC.
