Homesick

2 1 1
                                    

Sometimes, in the silence

Of the night

When the world seems to stand still

And all is quiet 

A single thought arises

And echos through our minds

Whispering of a simpler

Peaceful place far away from here

Of days past

Of innocence

Of childhood

In that moment 

We become homesick

For the comfort and safety

Of our past lives

Before the world and it's troubles 

Burdened us.
