While In Exile... Poem by Kylee Wells

Laid on the other side of a large body of whatever
water, land, wind, and weather
you surrendered to the hostile invasion
knowing all well your enemies wouldn’t want you dead
they would see pride in your capture
and declare you banished to the ends of the earth
this you saw fit
accompanied by a friend you made your departure
traditionally leaving home is a melancholy mind
this travel is intently pure to you
and of that emotion
you are new in your world
and content to it all
