Song of The Immigrant

Song of The Immigrant

Eyes full of tears behold my new home-- at last

Iโ€™m burning my ship, turning away from myย past

strong, unyielding... standing up against the sea

knowing that no one's ever coming over here

just to look for someone like me,

yet, I have no fear, listening to the sound of the river

flowing before me like a comforter,

and the deep green forest wind

is coming up the valley floor.

Purple mountains majestyย kisses me with inspiration

lighting flames of faith quickening my steps into motion

liberation freedom; singing sacred songsย for me so sweet

but leaving empty places in between; only I canย complete

HI Christopher This is a great poemย 
The topic you choose to write about is a sad one,
but here in your poem he has hope
ย These refugees have to flee their homelandsย 
for various reasons never knowing if the will survive even
You write from the thoughtsย of one of them
of what hes sees of this new land ย the beauty around him
his feelings of freedom andย new beginnings to live his life anew ( just my thoughts )
I felt every word you wrote here so well written
my respect ย Warmest wishes ย Debsย

Come with me
to live on the neon green island
By the pounding sea
Weโ€™ll float in...
