Notes About The Poem

~~The Poets~~ “A Collaboration by “Speaks Volumes & Sam Scott

"Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition." - James Baldwin

Listen to poem:

Homesick - Collab

When I'm lost and alone, there's a place I can go
Where my derelict condition just does not show
Like a security blanket, or warm woolly throw
Comforted securely when wild Winter winds blow.

When I'm too far from welcome, there's a place I reside
Refuge here from the yearning, I have no need to hide.
It's peaceful and hopeful, a colourful space
With a welcoming atmosphere my heart can embrace.

Not somewhere external, but a place deep inside  
Always within me, though I wander far and wide
A magnetic pull so my soul knows it's place
A path leading home for my footsteps to trace.

The feeling is mutual Sam, you have to take credit for pulling it together. Your presentation enhances our poem well. It was worth the extra effort. Well done. Who says collaboration cant be fun ?
