Running,

To find liberation

From the felicity and serenity I feel

The euphoria spreading like wildfire within

Tipping on the edge of sanity

Trying to escape you

My hiraeth.

I had an epiphany when I wanted to compose something to participate in a poetry competition. Hiraeth, the word that led me to publish a book, was the only thing I could think about. Then I wrote this and it led me to a new place in my mind. Hiraeth, inspite of meaning the polar opposite has given me a sense of being home.
