Poem – Heimweh

Is there a right way to slip back into the world of blogging after an unintentional four month break? I’m not exactly sure to be honest, but here I am! I don’t really have much of an excuse for my absence other than time began to slip away from me rather quickly once the semester started, and, after four years of weekly blogging, I decided I could afford a creative break from sharing on here.

Poem – Fernweh

Do you ever feel grounded?

Not in a ‘safe, solid, I know where I am’ sort of way, but a ‘restless, wings clipped, I should be somewhere else’ sort of way… I’ve found a good word to describe that feeling – ‘fernweh’. It’s a German word that translates to ‘wanderlust’ and it encompasses that emotion very nicely. I stumbled upon that word a few months ago now and was immediately inspired to write the poem I’m about to share with you.

Greetings my friends! Well, my summer is drawing to a close… God willing I will be flying back stateside in 8 days to start the first semester of my Junior year at the end of August. I’m not entirely sure I’m ready for school to begin – but, well, here we are. 😀

The older I get, the more convinced I become that time moves increasingly quickly. But it does – I’m sure of it! If anyone knows of a technique that slows specific portions of time down, let me know – I really could use it right now. 😀
