Refugee
I had a hut
on the bank of the river
beneath the sky painted blue
no patch of sorrow
only the berry hue.
The willow tree shreds
its barks, the birds circle
with their wings flung
I could see the sun
piercing through the wings.
I used to collect
Apples
from the bottom of the apple trees
I was happy, I was tranquil
but I didn't know their true meanings .
Until
one day invaders came
destroyed my hut, my habitat
since then I have been roaming
down the history lanes,
all over I could even imagine.
I am ever homeless, I am a human refugee,
my journey is forever, and my story has no ends.
