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…
