A Song of Belonging

A Song of Belonging

In the shadow of the mountain
where the oceans meet,
on the highveld savanna
desiccated by the heat,

or the rain-soaked island
where the people are like me,
and the shores of New England
always battered by the sea,

all have been at times
a place that I call home,
but really with me it stays
wherever I may roam.
