I Want to Go Home


May 18, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is religion.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem of estrangement from the mundane world and longing for the infinite:

I want to go home
To a place I've never been,
And see once more
A place I've never seen.

I long for the arms
Of a love I've never known,
And mourn the loss
Of the things I call my own.

I live in exile
In the land where I was born,
A wanderer
Come to sing, then quickly gone.
