Lovely poem cesarj21
It captures that feeling of yearning. At first I thought it was for only a place, but as the poem unfolded it became clear that it a yearning for both place and person. Like remembering home when you're far away. It is a bitter/sweet feeling.
Longing is a burden but is also flames to gasoline
I particularly liked the imagery in this line.
All the best César.
Thank you for all the kindness and feedback. What I mean by those words is precisely that, the bitterness of wanting to be with my mother again has served as fuel to keep going every day. I hope that you also have the opportunity to travel a bit in winter to a sunnier place to escape the cold and the grey for a while.
¡Regards!
