Back To My Land Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Back To My Land



My glass is not yet full
Of worries woes and pain
My search for happiness
Never ends but goes in vain

I lost family and friends
And He has never been kind
Among unknown faces I live
My love too I left behind

What drew me to this land
Love or wealth I don’t know
But I got none of these
And to my land I long to go

It’s perhaps the fragrance
That comes out of the earth
That floats around me always
That flows from my land of birth

I can’t stay here anymore
This soul now needs an escape
I will be back soon to my land
To sleep forever on its lap

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Valsa George 25 December 2015

To be alienated from one's land and people is always painful! Living like an alien in a strange land will make one long for his native land. That nostalgic longing is powerfully expressed in this poem!
