Poem of the week: Wherever I Go … by Jennifer Rahim (After Guardian)

 

 

Wherever I go,

Land or river, or sea

keeps me and my being

afresh with a feel of cling,

a bond of not dilution

at any cost; nor digression;

I hold in esteem

the place, the soil, the ground,

always a merry go round,

those I left long ago,

or they that are far away ;

so many   washed eggs

on shore, so much white surf

break and splash, yet on the same

unique time-honored path;

after all travel, come back

to same home and peace.
