Do you ever get that feeling, profound?
Light as a feather, heavy as a crown
Soft as cotton, hard as steel
A whirlwind of emotions, it makes you feel.
You feel the ache inside you,
Remembrance of the past
You yearn to visit that place on memories,
Then realise that you can't.
It feels like home, on a distant land
But with time running out, in an hourglass sand
You push it down, that bewildering feeling
A bittersweet sense of nostalgia lingering.
This is a poem about that sweetly sad feeling you get when you are leaving school, graduating college or anytime you leave something important behind t move on forward to something or someplace better or more fruitful.
