HOME: Journey To Manhood by poetictwenty(m): 9:41pm On May 09, 2021 |
As I wander into the wilderness of Manhood Taking along with me memories of my childhood : Memories made under the roof and four walls called Home , A place part of me still hunger for , as I journey to tomorrow. On my journey to finding a new home , I learnt That home is not a place and not a roof with four walls, But a moment ,and another moment, all building on each other To create a shelter that we take with us, our entire life. Home is an idea that only the homeless can fully appreciate. It’s like a battlefield where love, peace and trust unite Against the armies of pain and sorrow. It is a place where we believe in forever. A moment we pray never ends and wish everything will remain the same. ... Happy days are missed in the days of sorrows. This I found as I go in search of better tomorrow. Each day, I strain my ears hoping to hear mother’s lullabies again And still wish I could harvest my needs in Father’s pocket ,just like yesterday. Mother’s Ears no longer hears the pleas of my stomach And Father’s pocket has become a Barn that feeds only my siblings. In their Eyes, my hands have become a fertile soil That should grow and harvest all my needs . Now I am left in the forest of my own dreams Handed blunt machetes to chop down woods Which will build my saving Noah’s Ark in tomorrow floods. For the clouds patiently awaits me at the mountain of Fatherhood. 4 Likes
