Longing
I always have the longing to go home
Where my sweetest serenity and calm resides
My home was the strongest foundation known
Better built than any from concrete or stone
The sacred key was held within my mom's heart
For there in her heartbeat , was my home sweet home
It was felt in her soul
It was seen in her eyes
It was heard in her voice
She instilled in me everything that I have;
Compassion
Empathy
Resilience
Strength
Genuinity
In her eyes, was I everything
In mine, was she my entire world
I would love to feel her heartbeat once again
For then would I not have the longing to go home
Where my sweetest serenity and calm resides
My home was the strongest foundation known
Better built than any from concrete or stone
The sacred key was held within my mom's heart
For there in her heartbeat , was my home sweet home
It was felt in her soul
It was seen in her eyes
It was heard in her voice
She instilled in me everything that I have;
Compassion
Empathy
Resilience
Strength
Genuinity
In her eyes, was I everything
In mine, was she my entire world
I would love to feel her heartbeat once again
For then would I not have the longing to go home

This is such beautiful writing! I was not blessed with a mother such as this, but I hope one day these are the feels my kids will have of me.

Dearest Pandora, you have brought tears to my eyes, as I too have a longing for home, my mother's heart and words. Sadly she passed away a year and a half ago and home is no longer home. I live thousands of miles away from my lovely land and mountains. My father is all I morally have left, as my flesh refuses me from very young age, because others have poisoned them. But since my mother passed, home is no longer home. I learnt only after her departure why home was so special to me. Your poem and the beauty of the the words and their flow, is such, that a longing for that sacred space deepens the sorrow and the memories, which I believe you have awoken in many hearts and will so when others will read it. This is truly an excellent piece of art. I hope you share it with the world, as it deserves to be shared and savoured. Hugs J.

Thank you my friend. I am so sorry for your loss as well, I think there is no greater loss than that of a mother. Home itself no longer felt the same either afterwards. The 31st will mark a year since losing my dad. I believe the hardest task I've done is say goodbye to that place as well. I wish I could have just locked the doors and kept it forever!

Such a tragically beautiful poem, Pandora! I'm sorry about your loss, but even now your mother still has a positive impact in you. A part of her will always live on, in your memories, your heart and your soul.
Well done!
Well done!
