Poetry #7 – Reaching Port

Reaching Port

Emotions maimed

war-tattered souls

reach 

emaciated shore

alive

                                    seeking comfort

                                    companionship

                                    finding neither

                                    difference excludes.

 

Memories tear

absent

friends cherished

beyond

the hiatus of children

lost roots 

seeds sprouting

in foreign garden blind

to yearning hearts.


Time heals

comfort

companions

new riches found

the sound of alien birds

children playing

in safety and sun

connection grows

port reached.
