A JOURNEY

As the day says goodbye

When the sun sets

At the other side of the sea

He sees beyond the breeze

Sits in the multitude of other slaves

With hand against his cheek,

Thinks throughout the

Night and finds his soul wailing.

He has no vivid reason why he

Joined the boat – where he has come to?

He’s unsure what the

Sunrise shall bring tomorrow

Except for the shocks of the waves:

Every time it hits the shorelines

And eats up the sand,

He learns that tomorrow

Is not safe.
