Nostalgia

Nostalgia is:

Lingering in a warm bath of memories

Feeling the past slowly trickle back into the soul

Arriving at a place inhabited by those,

Whom fate has decreed, to have become strangers

Revisiting what is normally out of time, out of reach

Luxuriating in the nearness and warmth of remembered love  

 

Nostalgia is family, wrapped in soft shades of familiarity

A blanket to wear, a cushion, softening the sadness

Bringing comfort, where before there was longing

Nostalgia is powerful, intense, can bring both pleasure and pain

Take care not to linger in its company for too long

Overfamiliarity can turn it into sadness and grief

The bath of nostalgia has no end
