Homes of Yesterdays

by Supatra Sen / May 17th, 2026

May you return to
Sunbeam artistry on walls
Pigeons cooing from sunshades
Flowers swaying to summer breeze
The silence of leaf fall…
The aroma of autumn flush
The laughter of childhood innocence
And the radio playing nostalgia

Such are homes
Made of yesterdays
Where we yearn to return
Each day
Each time
Time and again…
