Nostalgia

Nostalgic Thoughts - Mostly short (ongoing work)

4/18/01
All these songs of my youth
make me homesick
for Nebraska
for my front porch
and midwest thunderstorms
rolling in
from downtown

4/18/01
I'm going home
to a home I've never known
Back to the land
I've longed for
for so long
and now
I don't know
where I want
to be

4/18/01
I'm homesick
and I haven't even left yet
I've never wanted to admit
I could love a place
like this
I'm not a southerner
and the midwest is my home
but still
I'm homesick
for this place
I haven't left

5/21/01 - For David
This past year
maybe we haven't been there
for each other
as much as we should have
Maybe we aren't as close
as we should be
But I'll miss you
more than I could ever say
It's sappy
I know
but I'll miss you
