Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a longing for a person or a place that evokes happy memories. Its an Oasis for the soul that harbors in the center of our hearts and draws us back to the Safe haven of our most sacred places. It contains the pull of an all familiar feeling; Territorial as a tug boat in the sea it has the ability to transport us without notice Across the miles of our present, into the deep abyss of our past. It is often said that Love is always remembered by the way it made us feel, and places by their scent; Granny's peppermint candies and mother's garlic sauce, are two precious memoirs I often go back to my first teachers and lose myself in recollection of home. It was An era of youthful abandon. Golden days full of spirited living and so much love.

I particularly like the metaphors in lines 2 and 3. For some reason it reminds me of the Temple to Ra in Siwa, Egypt. One of my own specific pieces of nostalgia.
