Katherine Braithwaite Poet Limerick

Nostalgia

Nostalgia’s a painful affair.
Homesick for what is not there.
Look round and view
What’s nearer to you.
Out with the past,I declare.

 

Still if we have memories then may
It be that they have something to say?
Look them straight in eye
But do not defy…
They’re from God. so kneel now and pray.

For it  is God we are nostalgic for
He has lost the post-modernist’s war.
Yet he’s here in a leaf
Showing the truth.
The  mystery, the myth and the lore.

Katherine Braithwaite March 26, 2016 at 3:23 PM I choose a word and then try to write about that .Sometimes I choose words I don't know like inchoate and put the meaning down as well.. thank you for reading.
