the land

Thu, 10/03/2013 - 23:05 -- BetraH

My foreign blood that flow thought  my vein calls

For a land to call its own, echoing  the sentiments of the heart that it pumps from.

Yet it doesn’t see it immediately, never intimately ,

I am left to hold my hope , that set on a future possibility .

As I drift from land to land while still trying to understand my motherland.

A place I have never seen, that only appears in my dreams
