FINDING MY HOME
You have always told me,
that I will never find a place, as beautiful, as this; your home.
Here all the seasons come and go,
the ponds freeze then melt which feed the roaring rivers. Flowers bloom and bask in sunlight,
while the birds flutter through the clean air.
Yet, I have never found, your home, to be beautiful.
Yes, there is natural beauty,
which surrounds you,
where-ever you wander.
But, this beauty does not suit me.
I have disliked living here, and growing up here.
The people are unmotivated, unhappy, and full of complaints.
Life here, is nonexistent.
The ones who live here, merely survive,
nothing is living.
There are only the ones who have lived and those who want to live. But there is no life, here, in your home.
This is why, I need to go, like the fluttering birds, and search for my home.
A home which I can find, beautiful.
Where I can settle and tell my kids, what you have always told me, about your home, only
it will be mine.
