Did Not Know

Looked like a place I knew,
first glance of the photo sent through.
Peeping through trees at ninety degrees,
Up above at the shaded sky-blue.

T'was there I was free but alone,
now earthbound and dreaming of home.
A mere image to most and i do so try not to boast;
though now stuck with homesickness syndrome.

Right there- between earth and our sun,
before this life-there I came from.
Believe me I'm true and there were others there too,
did not know this is what I'd become.
