Coming Back Home

COMING BACK HOME

   Call of career compelled to go abroad, carrying confusion.
   Onward progress permitted no limitation.
   Memories, reminiscences in series only to ruminate.
   Inevitable detachment from homely ambient.
   Nostalgia pricked pierced painful heart.
   Grieved to get uprooted from familiar soil.
   Bird yearned to fly free frolic, soaring high.
   Ambition pulled me far away surpassing sentiment.
   Carefree endeavor did not allow home sickness.
   Key of success to access, I fled from home.
   Humble heart hankered for heroic achievement.
   Ocean fathomless waited to be explored.
   Most important to touch summit of my goal.
   End of journey rejoiced coming back home.
