Nostalgia

N ostalgia is truly me ~ as I gaze out to sea ‘tis my middle name
O ne day I’ll return to this magical place the Isle from whence I came
S uch wistfulness and longing dwell deep inside my heart
T oo long my love since you passed on too long we’ve been apart
A nd now I’m left here all alone awaiting my call to leave this earth
L onging so deep inside it hurts for the moment of my next rebirth
G rateful for so many things ~ wisdom and compassion learnt thus far
I magination keeps me sane though some may think a tad bizarre
A tlantis is my spiritual home one day to return for ‘tis where you are
