NA Poem -Lyrics of Home

Cruising on a stretched highway where miles take forever -- Miles that would pull my heart back to a village of wonder, leaving work as new dreams call. Past curves from an old meadow jasmines twirl, bursting sweet scent while mist sends off a glow; A glow of childhood longing Replaying strong on my mind. Chorus: I'm nearing home , my real home Where folks chime of moonlit songs, Moments thrilling spilling joy far from city noise, I'm home ! Cares and pressure , out of sight gentle this world in silence-- as youth's reveries play on: Let me laugh, let me rest to wake from fields' sweet request !

This is a beautiful poem. I tend to be happiest when I'm driving. I get a feeling of accomplishment when arriving. I felt the spacious view of this joyous drive.

However far we stay, the memories of a home always lurk in the corner of our mind. Home like, 'mom' is a sweet word. The thought of being back home, will bring along with it the sweet memories of our childhood too. How I miss my home as there is no one there now. A sweet write, dear Nette.

Dear Nette, your lyric is beautiful in its journey back home, your "real home" with all its comforts and pleasures and "family chiming evening songs". Heartwarming nostalgia, longing, anticipation and realization. "Let me laugh, let me rest/to wake from morn's sweet request !" - a splendid finale! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I actually grew up in a village of about 3500. I don't have that many warm memories but I do like to go back on occasion and look around. As for me, my real home is anywhere my wife is
