WHERE DO WE BELONG?
Many people out there,
Are not even aware,
where do they belong?
It’s like they have lost the chasm.
If I can dance a crazy dance, I belong
If I am not judged, but loved, I belong
If I can lower my guard, I belong
If I can share my unfiltered thoughts, I belong
If I am understood, I belong
If I feel safe and calm, I belong.
Belongingness isn’t a utopian dream,
It is a feasible realm.
We do not need many people or places,
Even one can be sufficient,
To make us feel, we belong.
To a poet,
Poetry club is where they may feel belonged,
To a reader,
Library is as good a place as home,
To an astronaut,
Outer space is the home they always longed
To a child, mother is where
the belongingness ends.
Its different for different people,
But this we must know,
We all belong to a person or place
Person here can even be ourselves or thee
Place can be anywhere
land, sky or the sea.
Else we are the pendulum
Hanging in time and space.
Dangling here and there,
At our whims and fancy.
