Night Dies with a Drop of Dew
I feel homesick,
Lying here
In my dark and humid home.
Light and hope are flickering
In and out of shadows –
Of shadows in the corners.
Unfamiliar, I
Am among familiar,
Square angles.
Try to think with angles,
Try to imitate
Acres of sugarcane.
Home isn’t a house anymore
Or a town
Or hard-pressed cider.
Home is where you are
And I am not
There sometimes.

ExoticHippieQueen, I'm glad you can relate :) You're very welcome!
I relate to this. Thank you for sharing these kinds of feelings which many of us former mainlanders feel or have felt at sometime or another -- at least the first few years. Now it's sort of in reverse for me. I'm thinking of leaving and I know if I do, I will miss Hawaii in my soul forever. (I've left twice before, so I know....the colors and culture are unforgettable.)
I know these feelings, Rose. I think we all do. Thanks for this thought-filled poem........

Thank you for your encouragement! Poetry is such a personal thing, and I always wonder if the poetry I write makes sense to other people.
A well-known person once said, "I... can't... imagine! What life would be like without you."
Thanks for poetry that speaks deeply and with colorful, thought-provoking pictures.
