WHERE I COME FROM

WHERE I COME FROM

crunching leaves

a smell of the chilling breeze 

snakes, beetles, butterflies 

dancing around as the wind goes by

sleeping with stars above your eyes

and the mysterious sounds from the caves 

missing it all as my flight flies high

knowing it'll never be the same

dried lakes; no fish to swim

no leaves to shade you from the harsh sunlight

insects and bees not coming out to play

anymore tonight

i have come back, but to what?

the leaves on ground

or the factory smoke?

the place where i was before

this isn't where i come from......but the place that was here not-so-long ago

the place where i cry

laugh, eat and dance

the only place i could feel the sky

the place that i came from

the place that now has gone.

I enjoyed the poem. I like the questions asked and the honest walk in the poetry.
"the place where i cry
laugh, eat and dance
the only place i could feel the sky

the place that i came from
the place that now has gone."
Thank above lines stand on their own. Truth in them. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is sad, yet a beautiful write. I can see you haven't played much with words here, rather kept it simply. The meaning is conveyed with all its essence and it has its heart in the right place..... I would suggest you publicize such writes of yours. Not just for the beauty of a feeling but for its moral and civil messages.... people who adore poetry will definitely think about it!! Keep it up Girl!!! Thanks
