In search for a better identity

Away from friends and family

He found his spot in a land unknown

A home away from home.

Empty bowel, teary eyes,

Runny nose, salty mouth,

His gaze combed the skies

As he cried- heart, eye, nose and mouth.

He felt like ranting,

Screaming, sending out echoes through the earth.

For why, at first,

Did it accept his being

When it had no shilling 

With which he could fulfill his dreams?

But by chance,

He caught a glance.

He saw the whole world

In a small ball

Dancing implacably before him.

His tears dried up

When he beheld the seas

Glittering within the globe

Flowing to and fro, in their blues.

For in their beauty,

He found a reason to smile.

Seeing his future

Bouncing in the riches of nature,

He got to understand,

That he was the main character,

Of a narrative, written by the Father:

The brunt of a divine comedy.

From within, he heard silence speak to him

That his life was a building

Of an extraordinary palace

And it requires more time and effort

Than that of a bungalow.

Then, It was etched on his heart

That there is more to a bubble

Than a broomstick, soap and water.
