Place to Belong

The storm
In me has
Gone athirst.

Battered,
Shattered and
Helplessly lost.
It takes me
Places.

Hills to broken
Hearts,
Oceans to
Empty minds..

Lonely rooms
To nostalgic past.
Rugged roads to
A future
That’s lost.

From pens to
Papers, then
Moon to a
Mistress.

Hasn’t found
A home.

With the thirst
Still intact.
A refuge is
All it wants.
But is there a
Place?

To tame its
Rage,
Brush its hair.
A hot water
Bath and
Stomachfull
Of broth.

A lullaby
At night to
Sleep without
A fight.

An easy dawn.
A lazy day,
And for a
Shady evening,
Full of play.

Is that much
To ask?
A place to
Bask all day
Long..

A place to
Belong.
