Somewhere

where and how to abide?
hidden between the questions
the enigma of choice
the invocation of home

all the origins
the destinations
carried inside us
across multiple lands
multiple seas

the sun rises and families gather
plant roots feast celebrate remember

the sun sets and stories collect
narratives words music pictures

scatter them unboundaried
into a country that contains all

the sojourns crossings wayfaring
passages exiles pilgrimages
migrations removals transits
voyages odysseys quests

the color shape sound
taste smell texture
woven into our ancestry
our amalgamated abode
