Where I Belong Poem by Vera Dike

Where I Belong

Rating: 5.0


In my soul I belong somewhere...
I don't know where I belong to.

Maybe somewhere to the distand land
where cacofony of voices
sounds at market place.
Where air is full of scent of thyme,
sandalwood and yasmine.

where the Moonlight
shimmers on the sand
when warm blood of setting sun
soaks into the night.
and Wood is cracking in campfire
while the flames dance
with sworm of sparks

where A storyteller
spells the otherworlds
accompaniend with the voice of the drum
The Sea sounds with eternal song
Under the starlight
the desert rose grows.
There I belong.

but now am homesick, yet at home
dinning with family, yet alone.

Great poem! I think I would feel at home in the place where you belong. I think I know about being with family and yet alone.
