Nostalgia lives in all of us; to our minds it brings
Enchanting recollections of very special things
Which we sometimes cling to, but these memories are flitting wings.
Butterfly wings! Lovely they may be, but these old times have gone away.
Eventually we must move on – and make new memories!
Grasp every opportunity that comes to you each day.
Invent new things to do. Open your eyes. See what’s carried by the breeze:
New butterflies - bright and beautiful - are sure to come along.
Nab those precious butterflies. Bring them to your loved ones before they flee.
Immerse yourself in loving life; sing a brand new song!
Nurture in yourself a caring and sharing spirit. Enjoy harmony.
Giving to others, you will feel more alive,
So fashion new beginnings, and with happiness ever thrive.

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.

Nostalgia brings remembrance to our minds
On looking back with yearning and desire;
Stirred by the longing for fond memories
To reappear as flashes from the past.
Alienation often spurs reviews-
Lets sad or happy visions come to life,
Gifting the mind and heart with souvenirs
Instilled from those realities that passed-
Allowing minds and hearts to recreate.

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

Apples, red and ripened, lie scattered all around
Under trees where orange leaves are brightening the ground.
Treats meant for my children somehow end up in my mouth!
Up in skies so beautiful the birds are headed south.
Memories of new Thanksgivings have yet to unfold.
Nostalgia - though - turns bitter sweet as I’m growing old.
