Refugee

Walking for days
Days in cold, sleet and rain—away
Away from ways
Ways of life that are changing
Changing all around
Around me faster
Faster than my mind can conceive
Conceive that war
War is raging
Raging in my homeland
Homeland no longer home
Home no longer land
Land I love, I defend
Defend to the very end
End of the road I arrive
Arrive in a new place, not home, I stand
Stand, I will not fall
Dawn Minott
Creative soul. Artsy to the core. Poet, Speaker, Author. An unapologetic lover of God, of love and of all things nature. Hardcore logophile with an epigrammatic style. I am motivated to write from observing what I believe God created-by-design like nature, family, love, and relationship. My work has been published in anthologies, magazines and newspapers then I later wrote and published my first book: “Moments: A Poetic Heart Journey”. And I continue to write. When I’m not writing creatively, I work for an international organization to promote social progress, better living standards and human rights.
