Heavy

Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest - Robert James Liguori
HEAVY: Glenn Hughes:RESONATE (2016)
-----------------------------------------------
I know that strange feeling
A ton weighs on my heartstrings

The Ears yearn to listen
Language of the given

The Eyes wish to rest
In the dust of land born

My gut waits unmindful
For dishes made by mom

It’s so heavy, I got to go home
To my mom, to my land, to my folk

I wanna see that teared smile 
On wrinkled face of mom

I wanna feel the tap & hug
By my folk, by my kin

Every time I feel the fear
I fear death away from home

It’s a crime if you don’t feel that way
It’s a crime if you just walk away

The air of motherland
The soil of motherland
The tongue of motherland

Worth known to only
Those far away from home

You know that you’re not alone

Valsa George August 23, 2024 at 12:36 AM So true. How strongly I can relate to your feelings. Our birthplace, our home and our parents, especially our mother, they are so dear, however far we are and though we stay away from them. The longing to return to our roots will be so strong in any reasonable man.

Daniel Henry Rodgers August 21, 2024 at 7:58 AM Dear Thriveni, How are you, my friend! I loved reading your poem and it brought back my own memories of when I was in the military stationed in other countries. Homesickness is so real and surreal. Well inked, my friend! Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel thriveni c mysore August 21, 2024 at 6:33 PM Honored to have you on my page dear sir. Science can't explain that human emotion-a feeling of ethereal peace that descends when one sets foot on their homeland and listen to their dialect. Pleased to know you were in Service. I am and remain grateful for your blessings sir. Thank you.
