Years later I still remember

Standing in your kitchen

I was tired from a long drive

And visit with friend in nursing home

 

You took me in your arms

You held me close

A strange thing happened

I felt completely at home

There in your arms

 

Years later I found the place

Where I really feel at home

And then I remembered

This city is where you lived

 

I remembered the strangeness

Of feeling at home in your arms

Then I smiled, realizing

It was only a sign

Of something wonderful to come

 

I thought it was you

I never felt that with anyone

So, I thought it was you

 

It wasn’t you that was home

It’s the city you lived

Where I feel at home

 

Thank you anyway.

Beautiful! I thought 'inspirational poetry' had gone dead. With 'beat poetry' having replaced it. Thanks for keeping your tenderness alive!

This unfolds in the readers mind softly and with the strains of melancholy. An interesting perspective, Ann, that one can easily relate to.
Blessings to you friend ...

And here I thought there was another romantic poem resulting in this piece.....perhaps romance for the city? Sometimes it is the allure of the surroundings that we crave but are often mistaken, believing it is the person/persons who were in our lives at the time. You definitely brought that message home. Well done. I enjoyed this write.

Smiles,
Dorothy
