and when i smell the midnight breeze
dancing behind my eyes in a deaf slideshow
i remember florida and christmases past
asleep again, christmas morning
presents piling up under pine covered scent
gliding memories in my brain
and i look out the window before it closes
and the smell retreats
and my eyes close
and I return
home again

Thanks in advance for the replies...

Memories of home are almost as sweet as the real thing. This time of year really brings them out, too. You describe it well. Thanks for sharing it with us!

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

I really liked this poem. Home......a place where the heart is......something that seems to be cliché said these days, but so true.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
