Therese Bacha Poet Free verse

I Feel Nostalgia

You feel nostalgia for everything 
That was and no longer is. 
This description most definitely 
Deepens and clarifies them. 

The right words help us to know ourselves. 
Through them 
We can more accurately and securely identify the
 contest of our inner life. 

The right words break our isolation. 
Because the mind which comes from
 the brain has a far away existence. 

The word is a physical existence 
Intellectually, and mentally exists 
when doing anything or taking place 
faraway during the moment, 
or even in any particular period. 

Those words are not even intended, 
But memorizing them 
Are when they are born. 

The violation from a loved one 
Made my moods become darker 
And more erratic, 
When I just couldn't find words 
To describe how I felt. 

Wanting to feel really humble 
Before tomorrow comes, 
Being certain I was going 
to be saved, 
Out of love. 

I was never in danger, not once 
as I have faith in God 
And that made me open a door to life. 
I wasn't in shock anymore 
I had the strength needed to do that
 by myself in those days of youth.
