Nostalgia

In Kolkata or in Rome
With rose or tulip
Every night we are back home
In our fond fetal sleep

Our body on its left side
The torso a little hunched
Knees bent in a comfort feel
Mom in a flower bunch

Whether snow or warmth
The fetal sleep is a medicine
The depressed bird from the north
Flying towards a warm sunshine

In a colored unconscious so dear
In our sleep we love our mother

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/1/2016 7:39:00 PM Probir, I absolutely adore this, as I lie like this all night when I sleep!! FAVE Login to Reply Probir Gupta Date: 12/2/2016 3:44:00 AM well ... thank you ... we do this more, and that too unknowingly, when we are in mental stress ... this is most intense nostalgia ... over and over again we desire to return to our absolutely safe abode ... it has had no parallel ... and for us who are males it is much more so ... you may not (not will not) exactly perceive that ...

Judy Ball Date: 11/29/2016 9:15:00 AM Very good Probir. Excellent observation. In our sleep we tend to go back into the fetal position. Seems to be the most comfortable. A seven from me. God Bless, JB Login to Reply Probir Gupta Date: 11/29/2016 10:59:00 AM Thank you ...

Paul Callus Date: 11/27/2016 11:32:00 AM Mother...close, affectionate, giver of life. A bonding that begins before birth and continues after. A warm a nd lovely write, Probir. // paul Login to Reply Probir Gupta Date: 11/27/2016 11:43:00 AM Thank you, Paul ... Thank you for the appropriate appreciation ... This is so intense a nostalgia that it occurs spontaneously and almost compulsively in our sleep ... Regards ...probir Probir Gupta Date: 11/27/2016 11:38:00 AM Our pleasure deriving desire drives us to fetal sleep. Why? Unconsciously we regress to the most secured phase of our life i. e. ...mother's womb. We shared the same heartbeat. And any regression or return to derive pleasure is nostalgia. ... Thank you for your observation.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/27/2016 10:44:00 AM wow, if this is what I think, that is taking nostalgia WAY back to the past!!! Great thinking.
