Hiraeth – a Welsh word meaning longing for home.

HIRAETH

Hiraeth is in my bones.
My tide of longing
For that far star
That shines so faithfully
In my night sky,
Its hard brilliance a beckoning,
Far-heard call
Over the night-waves
Of my breathing, sighing sleep.

My bones quietly disintegrate.
I return to essence,
And find the one tiny particle of self
Amid star-sand.
