Nostalgia
Living in past summations,
your art can be a stepping stone
for the wide expanse
that is humanity.
You may feel a lot
in your memories.
You may feel the heavy
rose color of nostalgia.
There’s always a longing.
A longing for home.
It’s a complicated thing and
we want
and need the hope.
Trying to feel it,
make of it what you can.
Try and open yourself up
to a world of chaos
that can conquer anyone.
Nostalgia.
Or just a poem.
A song.
I make of it what I can
because I care about the potential
of every future moment.
Maybe I care too much,
but nostalgia is a powerful thing to me.
Just an old song I like.
Just words I speak.
Help me see the complexity of
a collective unconscious
unfolding the expansive drama
of our world;
and all of the memories we feel.
It’s important we create the world
through our best moments.
This really hit home for me considering the state of our world. Thank you. Well written.

Odin, I appreciate your words of encouragement, and I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. Thank you for reading. I appreciate the tip for page breaks too. It’s good to be back on PC, and I’m glad we’re able to connect with our poetry.
We definitely need that at a time like this.
Awesome mate
