Complete Understanding
 

You understand

Completely…

How is it so

When never have you

Lived here

Nor seen my land before

 

The walls are high

Holding me within

Keeping me conditioned therein,

Yet you seem to see

Through them

Into the loneliness of living

 

You understand

Completely…

When of roots and ties

I speak with pain,

But you have never tied yourself

Nor have ever to roots chained

 

You are not born

Of this soil I call my home,

Have been a nomad clear

Yet of my values quaint and old

You understand

Completely…
