In Search Of A New Life Poem by virat joshi

In Search Of A New Life



The night brings hope to the shattered souls…passing thru the streets of a war torn city
As they embark on a journey to freedom
Faces are pale and weary but the eyes gleam of hope
Quietly they steer away towards the open ocean hoping to reach the unknown land
Away from the war and misery that tore them apart
The boat is small and worn out.. sound of the engine and water wades thru the dark deep ocean which overpowers their emotions
Teary mothers try to calm down their crying children
Everybody cries within
Loss of their loved one and homes, pain is deeper than the ocean
Now no more their homeland
For days their lives hang on the boat, which cuts thru the water in a steady pace
Only companions are distant moon and stars at night
Hunger and fatigue starts to break them, kids cry no more..
The silence breaks with bright lights and loud announcements, swarmed with boats with men in uniform
The first sight of land over horizon brings tears of joy..The search for a new life begins in an unknown future.

Each word of the poem is dipped in the emotional saga of refugees who have fled from their homelands only to be a part of the no man's land. A poignant portrayal. A quote: Only companions are distant moon and stars at night Hunger and fatigue starts to break them, kids cry no more..
