Nette Onclaud Poet Lyric

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 !

Valsa George June 30, 2024 at 4:31 AM 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.
