So far away (poem)

Strolling along - the city sidewalk,

I feel at awe with such a peaceful flow - of travel.

Those I meet will pause and smile,

Then soothe my soul with gentle talk.

This fe'lin within I find so hard - to unravel,

Is this the land - where I was raised?

What fills this day, with such enchantment?

I feel as though - I should give praise.

This feeling - has left me with an - air of bemusement.

Ev'n the young - seem so at ease  in  their way.

This must be the beginning of a brand new era.

From where did all these answers arrive,

Which set these souls at play?

Tell me Lord! For I too must be a part of this endeavor

YES! - YEs! - Jailer, - I am awake!

To toil again! - Through another day.

 

This aching in my heart is wrought! - For my soul's sake.

PLEASE! - do not let me sleep tonight! -to dream once more,-

Of this land,….. so…. far…. away.
