  • Heartache

    I long to be away, aching to break free from routine.

    Weaving dreams of the blue sky, the endless greens and the tall ridges.

    Waking to a sunrise, cooking a simple meal and mending my countable belongings.

    Or climbing to the top of the hills, soaking in the view as far as the horizon exists.

    My eyes long for those meandering paths, that take you back in time, old and new sitting along side.

    But as the dawn nears, I sink in sadness, full of longing, and swim in grief.

    I shall miss you is an under statement, I shall never leave is a mirage.

    I built it all, I tend to it, It has a piece of my soul.

    Every corner, every nook, cared for, lived in and yet still weaving memories.

    Aging with me, defining me, sometimes being an identifier for my persona.

    It’s weird to love the inanimate, but I can’t help profess my feelings.

    Made of brick and mortar, put together over the years, like the pieces of a worn out puzzle.

    Indeed, home is where the heart is.

  • Home away from home

    They say home is where the heart is. & we all love our nests, our homes, our place of belonging. While some of us are builders, some are nesters and the rest are nomads happily moving yet not belonging to any one nest.

    Be whatever, there comes a time when we start missing our nest – either the one we built or one we grew up in. The one we grew up in holds a special place in our heart. Emotional attachment keeps us going back to it or atleast longing to go back to it. A trip down memory lane for nostalgia sake feeds our soul wishing we could be here forever.

    And on the other hand, the one we build is dear as it’s truly ours. Every day life keeps us busy, yet pulling us to create the best for our future generations. Filling our creative soul with purpose and motivation as the joy of creation is next to none.

    The lucky ones don’t have to choose as they get to nurture their childhood place. But then these are rare. Most of us shuttle between the two worlds. & some souls have only one of the two nests. Whatever be your situation, play it out with hope in heart and smile on face ❤️
