PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

as a child it seemed to me

here on earth I did not belong to be

different somehow I surely was

from other children all about me

surely somehow a spaceship had

brought me here and abandoned me

then flew away to somewhere else

to the place that I ought to be

and as I grew into teenage years

somehow the sea did call to me

to find a boat and sail away

and spend my life upon the sea

travel the trades to islands far

trading goods with the peoples there

going where I freely could

and find the place where I should be

now I am in elder years

and in the future alone I’ll be

and the open road does call to me

to travel to where I should be

yet somehow I still do not know

just where it is I long to be

and if the place I’ll ever find

the perfect place where I should be

for in this life I’ve always felt

surely somewhere else I ought to be

and longed somehow to travel where

what is the place where I should be
