Heavy

Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest - Robert James Liguori HEAVY: Glenn Hughes:RESONATE (2016) ----------------------------------------------- I know that strange feeling A ton weighs on my heartstrings The Ears yearn to listen Language of the given The Eyes wish to rest In the dust of land born My gut waits unmindful For dishes made by mom It’s so heavy, I got to go home To my mom, to my land, to my folk I wanna see that teared smile On wrinkled face of mom I wanna feel the tap & hug By my folk, by my kin Every time I feel the fear I fear death away from home It’s a crime if you don’t feel that way It’s a crime if you just walk away The air of motherland The soil of motherland The tongue of motherland Worth known to only Those far away from home You know that you’re not alone

How beautiful... it drips with pride and aches with the sorrow of missing something loved and longed for. Xo

So true. How strongly I can relate to your feelings. Our birthplace, our home and our parents, especially our mother, they are so dear, however far we are and though we stay away from them. The longing to return to our roots will be so strong in any reasonable man. Enjoyed reading your poem dear Thriveni.

Dear Thriveni, How are you, my friend! I loved reading your poem and it brought back my own memories of when I was in the military stationed in other countries. Homesickness is so real and surreal. Well inked, my friend! Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Honored to have you on my page dear sir. Science can't explain that human emotion-a feeling of ethereal peace that descends when one sets foot on their homeland and listen to their dialect. Pleased to know you were in Service. I am and remain grateful for your blessings sir. Thank you.
