Changing seasons
disturbed environment 
ignites the survival instinct 
and the birds that are daring 
with a zeal of "living" life 
soar high with their flock  
on a journey to distant lands  
where they weave new nests 
and return renouncing everything  
back to their "home" 
when the right moment comes.

I with millions many more 
wander all across the continents  
due to unrest caused by political games  
or the aspiration within that challenged  
to discover and fulfill the potential  
by building a new "chosen" life. 

Yet, in the newfound peace  
and changed circumstance  
the discontented sense of fulfillment  
keeps searching for the Oasis .......

I find myself unable to relinquish and return.

The eagle with its infinite span of wings  
is unable to fly again 
The trauma of leaving the homeland  
continues to haunt ...
