Far away from the hallowed shores
I’ve turned away from the open doors
Built a home across the oceans
Embraced novel ideas and notions
Settled in a new land, I did not realize
How I’d begun to see with a new pair of eyes
The venerable land where I was born
It had turned magical, I could’ve sworn
A land of colors, festivals and mirth
Spectacular is the land of my birth
Where the comfort of family is always near
Where you can express emotions you hold dear
Those gigantic problems that afflict
My homeland are in my mind extinct
A utopian aura it has now acquired
Nostalgia has my imagination fired
I would preserve this world of make-believe
Beautiful poem! I too can relate to it 🙂
