Nostalgia

A phone call won’t fix the past
nor will it bring our country back
nor will it erase the years of separation
or the memories of wars and shatter for generations

A visit may not heal the broken hearts
nor will it bring the dead back
nor will it bridge the gap
between you, me and the families who scattered beyond the map

A text won’t break the mountains between us..
for they have grown beyond the clouds
Nor will it empty the oceans between us ..
for they keep rising beyond the land ..
Our home has become shadow of a memory lost in the mind
and I am afraid …

A phone call won’t fix the past
nor will it bring our country back
nor will it erase the years of separation
or the memories of war and shatter for generations
