Homophrosyne

[J. A. LLoyd]

Homophrosyne
First night in Athens,
a long goodbye.
Parents, brothers,
sisters speak adieu.

A new life starts,
here in Greece.
Tomorrow morning,
I say Yasou.

Away from home,
and yet closer still.
Simera, cthes, ávrio.
Oh whatever shall I do?

Home is kardia,
but Greece is spiti!
Was leaving right,
and starting new?

I need to be home,
I need my chara.
Homophrosyne,
the perfect worldview.

Homophrosyne,
in Athens true.
Where Philos Sophia,
exists truly? True.

Voetheia, my home...
be America or Greece?
Was this the right choice?
Should I have withdrew?
